Half-knowledge is the most dangerous

When a person does not understand, he will be very cautious and avoid making wrong decisions; when a person “slightly understands” things and thinks he “does not understand”, he will also be cautious.

However, many people actually "understand only a little," but think that they "know well", so they are confident and determined to make decisions. As a result, they have paid a large and small price and crises have appeared again and again. In some things, I even didn't realize it because I never realized that I was "semi-understanding" and paid the price for a lifetime.

"A little knowledge and a half-understanding" is the absorption of things and the lack of understanding, leading to inaccurate judgments and self-knowledge. Because they don't fully understand things, they don't accurately distinguish the subtle differences between things, so that they are taken out of context, A becomes B, and T beats M. And because I think I understand very well, I can’t listen to other people’s opinions and advice. Of course, the judgments made on this basis will be very different.

The world is becoming more and more complex. Everyone needs more extensive knowledge, deeper understanding, cognition and integration in order to make accurate judgments. However, many people eagerly and actively "eat in" a lot of ideas and information. On the one hand, they are self-comforting, on the other hand, they satisfy their vanity. Such people may need to check their level of integration, otherwise the degree of "poisoning" will only get deeper and deeper.

Reading does not ask for a thorough understanding. If you misuse it if you think you understand it, you have to pay a price. It is better to have never read it before, but will not misuse it. As the saying goes, "It is better to have no books than to believe in books", and this is the truth. Therefore, it is better to spend more time to understand one thing thoroughly than to absorb a bunch of "half-understanding" things hastily.

"Small knowledge" can not be used, it is rubbish, even poison.
