The
adage ‘we know’ brings with it a multitude of further questions - How do we
know that we know? And if we know that we know then how do we know how much we
know? Or whether what we know is true, correct, complete, and adequate? Is
it the absolute truth, unquestionable, unchangeable? We know that absolute truth is with the absolute and we all are
searching for it; so the knowledge of anything cannot be confirmed absolutely by
the self, it is at best a postulate, open to testing and questioning. And question we must- to learn, to
know. Knowing something means to be personally convinced of its truth. But
the personal element here again makes it questionable.It is liable to be challenged; the
personal definition can evolve and grow. That’s what life is- to successively
know the better answer, to update the existing ones till we reach the ultimate
truth. The firm, unchangeable, unbeatable truth.
Till
we reach there, lets question and go on questioning every paradigm that we
hold. Lets search the meaning behind a meaning, the question within the answer,
lets not accept things as given, lets question, lets challenge
the accepted ideologies and notions and norms and lets fight the lethargy, the
conformity to a set way of life and thinking and get ready to experience the roller coaster ride to the ultimate.
