Our Mind

Our mind is the instrument of knowledge, but it is very imperfect and filled with all sorts of ignorance. John Climacus, The Ladder of Divine Ascent

“You think you’re so smart!”

How many times have we heard that? From teachers? Parents? Spouses? Children?

And that is not meant as a compliment, right?

Unless we have other problems, we do think we’re pretty smart.

But, are we really?

When we develop the attitude of continuous learning, then we can overcome that problem of ignorance. Partially, at least. The brain is malleable throughout our life. If we stretch it and use it.

Let us recognize our shortcomings and adopt the attitude of continuous improvement.
