There are three kinds of people in this world.
1. The one who is absolutely ignorant. With no knowledge, he lives an ignorant life. Given his lack of knowledge about the repercussions, he often ends up committing mistakes endlessly.
2. The second is the other extreme. He is absolutely knowledgeable. Given his knowledge about the challenges & repercussions, he does not commit a mistake. At all.
3. The third is us. Lying somewhere in between. We started off perhaps from the very ignorant.
The question is, how then, did we or still are evolving from the very state of ignorance/darkness towards enlightened knowledgeable humans? We swing between avoiding mistakes to committing them like a pendulum. From one right action to another wrong action. Often, in a fixed/known space of time, it is one step forward followed by another step backwards. We sin, we repent, we repeat.
How then, are we moving towards a knowledgeable state of mind. The other extreme where there is no mistake. From never being Pharaoh to always being Musa. Perhaps, every mistake we make, leads us to a set of learning about ourself. It in turn, creates an opportunity to apply our learning in the realm of a similar situation. One step backwards gives us a chance to take two step forwards - a giant leap of self correction - Only if we decide to apply our learning. Only if we decide to apply our knowledge.
Knowledge alone is nothing but a theory on paper. An unsaid theorem hidden somewhere in the complicated web of 100 billion neurons and trillion synapses in our brain. It only acquires a physical existence when it is applied. When it is expressed against the pressures of time/space and humanly expectations. When given a chance to perform its act on the stage of the world, it is only then the knowledge takes shape of action. Enlightened with the knowledge of repercussions, It turns into an action, pushing us forward. Letting us take a step. This time, only the right step though.
Knowledge is a reservoir, It is a Constitution A law book of Nature. Of Universe. And of Rights and Wrongs. Each moment, The world offers us an opportunity to get a set of rights and wrongs, apply them rightly to turn Knowledge into application. Each access to the Reservoir helps us make right decisions. Decisions that may be wrong according to societal norms or humanly expectations. But decisions, never the less, aligned with the Supreme Constitution of the Universe. It helps us move from being ignorant and unaware of repercussions to being more sound and knowledgeable.
If the above axis of constant learning and evolution towards perfection is kept on the canvas of Time (since the day we were born) - we'd see how we truly are moving towards being more enlightened. More sound with the knowledge of repercussions It seems extremely debatable in the view of on going global set of affairs, however, despite that, there still seems to be some sort of Global Awakening. People today are more aware. People today, are fighting more and more with themselves. People today, are going and exploring the Universe's constitution more eagerly.
The fact that you and I are aware of the darkness around is in itself a reflection of our collective movement towards lesser of a Pharaoh.
It is only a matter of how less ignorant are we on our deathbed than we were when we opened our eyes. Each day puts a deal in front of us. An offer. An access to the Grand Law book of the Universe. Through which, we can pause. Get equipped with the repercussions of doing anything. And then, take a step towards being lesser of our past and more of our Future. And die as better Humans.
Along the way, we would have contributed toward the Collective Human Evolution towards Perfection.
