Hi ruperto...
Knowledge without purpose, is like rowing a boat on dry land.
To walk a peaceful path, know that some paths are seldom peaceful.
Trust comes from within.
Is not to trust, to rely on someone, of whom you know nothing?
I seek not to know ALL the answers but...to understand the questions.

Buen dia amigo....
As I have said on similar discussions...
We all formulate questions, based on the answers we want to hear.
I believe it is our EXPECTATIONS that determine whether or not we've received a correct or decent response.
Ahhhh, si, those mucho-loco "e x p e c t a t i o n s!"
Cheers amigo;

yes all that things depends on the person. if someone wants to be good then he can get some knowledge also.. but a person who is not a good person and if he wants to be good then it is more difficult.

Hello there.
"In the world of knowledge, the essential Form of Good is the limit of our inquiries, and can barely be perceived; but, when perceived, we cannot help concluding that it is in every case the source of all that is bright and beautiful --in the visible world giving birth to light and its master, and in the intellectual world dispensing, immediately and with full authority, truth and reason --and that whosoever would act wisely, either in private or in public, must set this Form of Good before his eyes."
This is by Plato
Have a nice day!

Ohhh yes its very true .....goodness without knowledge does nto help because goodness hardly works if one does not have good knowledge for example If I am a very kind hearted and rich person but I dont know how to spend my time and money to help poors than such goodness is on no use and same way if you have ample knowledge but you are not good to people than its not worth...for example a cruel manager has huge knowledge but no goodness that created huge problem for him at the end of the day despite of being knowledgeable
Thanku
Ganesh

cruel people use their knowledge to take advantage of their weak fellows.they feed the weak with harrowing words to instill fear and demand loyalty from them. without goodness, the person is harassed and get stabbed.
