Do you understand it?
Just because you know it, it does not mean that you understand it…. and often times the gap between knowledge and understanding is enormous!
Knowledge is merely the information that is gathered about something…. and you can become knowledgeable about any subject fairly quickly… all it takes is some reading, a few discussions and listening to the experts… may be doing it a few times!
I do not mean to undermine knowledge. But knowledge can be gained easily!
Gaining the awareness of the inner mechanics… being able to digest it to a point where you can grow beyond merely talking intelligently about it… to where you know it inside-out… to where you are aware of each fault-line that exists… are able to exploit it to the fullest… know its boundaries… are an authority on the subject… are able to bring it into your experience… is when you “Understand” it…
The growth from knowledge to understanding takes a lot more… it is often times a life long pursuit!
What do you truly understand…
