Lack of Knowledge
I was walking today when I suddenly had a feeling of hunger rushing through my stomach, that’s when i decided to walk into this small diner. They had take-outs as well. I ordered something to eat and waited for it at a table, when suddenly two guys that were arguing asked me about the posters that are on the metro trains, were they one piece stickers, or block-kinda stickers? Of course, I hadn’t the slightest idea on earth so I just stood there and then replied with ” I don’t know “. I felt embarrassed that I didn’t know something so trivial, but then again why would I?
Do I lack the basic knowledge, or it’s not something that I’m supposed to know? I’m sure most people had gone through such an experience in their lives, but why don’t we know better? Why don’t just go out and learn random stuff all the time? I wish I had known the answer to these questions, so I’m leaving the answering to you, people.
I spend an unreasonable amount of time learning random things. I may be like Cliff Clavin now, but that time could’ve been spent getting a proper education, or spending time with family, or..
You’re also not accounting for the many things that you DO know. That’s why there’s 6 billion of us– so we can collectively provide a wealth of knowledge for those who don’t have it.
