“To know that you do not know is the best. To think you know when you do not is a disease. Recognizing this disease as a disease is to be free of it.”

Tao Te Ching

we see our faults as faults without giving any reasons; half of the problem will be solved and we’ll consider as wise people.

The Fault And Acceptance

If we succeeded, we can see things clearly and we can focus on things that we want to focus on. We’ll be guilt-free without blaming others. The Blame game is worthless; we use all our energy to put blame on others. We should reverse that energy to gain knowledge or wisdom. We should recognize our faults and be proactive, if we really want to grow in our life stop blaming the outside situation and start to change from the inside.

Fault And Success

Most of the time, we failed to recognize our faults and in other cases, we just live in the denial that we’re not at fault. We see ourselves as innocent people against this vile world. But on the contrary, the problem lies within us. We don’t recognize our faults and blame others for them. When we realized, it’s too late for us. So, the philosopher wanted to say to become a wise person we need to acknowledge our faults.

To know what you do not know…. (How To Recognize Faults)

“To know that you do not know is the best. To think you know when you do not is a disease. Recognizing this disease as a disease is to be free of it.”

These words are spoken by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi">Lao Tzu </a>an ancient philosopher and founder of Taoism in Chinese religion. They say, Philosophy is the way of living life. For thousands of years, we as human beings are finding ways to live life to the fullest. We make mistakes, we learn from them and try to avoid them from repeating again. The cycle of mistakes drives continuously if we didn’t learn from them. So back to our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_Te_Ching">Tao Te Ching’s </a>quote, the philosopher wanted to say that wisdom is knowing the thing that you know nothing. If we think that we knew all things behind the scenes then we’re wrong. We know nothing about the future, we know nothing about wisdom and we know nothing about the universe. We were learning, we are still learning and we’ll be learning continuously in the future. (This goes for our future generation too).

I love reading philosophical texts, blogs, and books. Recently, A blog caught my attention. In this blog, I read Lao Tzu’s wisdom words. The blog is about <a href="https://freedominthought.com/writings/lao-tzu-see-your-foolishness-become-wise">‘See your foolishness, Become wise’ </a>. Writer Justin Deol has written his understanding of Lao Tzu’s text and its meaning. He wrote, wisdom lies in our foolishness. Now, you’ll ask how? As we see our faults as faults without giving any reasons; half of the problem will be solved and we’ll consider as wise people.

Most of the time, we failed to recognize our faults and in other cases, we just live in the denial that we’re not at fault. We see ourselves as innocent people against this vile world. But on the contrary, the problem lies within us. We don’t recognize our faults and blame others for them. When we realized, it’s too late for us. So, the philosopher wanted to say to become a wise person we need to acknowledge our faults.

If we succeeded, we can see things clearly and we can focus on things that we want to focus on. We’ll be guilt-free without blaming others. The Blame game is worthless; we use all our energy to put blame on others. We should reverse that energy to gain knowledge or wisdom. We should recognize our faults and be proactive, if we really want to grow in our life stop blaming the outside situation and start to change from the inside. The writer Justin Deol has a YouTube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/FreedominThought/about">‘Freedom In Thoughts’ </a>where he posts videos about philosophy and Self-improvement.

PS. I know after reading this post you’ll think this is easier to write and hard to practice but trust it was not easier to write as an amateur writer I find it hard to find ‘right words’ for this explanation.
