THE FOOL THINKS HE IS WISE BUT WISE MAN KNOWS HIM TO BE FOOL

 

we will first analyse as to why such contrast in the thinking of the two opposite poles arise . then we will try to explore which one is right, the wise or fool with relevant examples to find out how at national level and individual level, humanity grew because of the wise while fool acted as hindrance

A foolish person is the one who lacks emotional intelligence,understanding, knowledge or application of knowledge . his ignorance makes him stagnant and content with the intelligence he has . he thus believes that he is the wise man .

if a conquerer wants to conquer the whole world but the world he knows is just an island in the vast ocean . then after conquering it he will consider himself to be wise and powerful but the reality is completely different

A wise man on the other hand is understanding, emotionally intelligent inquisitive to acquire more knowledge and apply what he already knows . the knowledge illuminates his vision to realise that what he knows s like a drop in the ocean and thus considers himself a fool 

the foolish person will appear satisfied and content in his life but in reality his growth and progression will be stagnant . his overconfidence may bring his own downfall.

Many countries after preliminary results believed in the efficacy of hqloxichloroquinine medicines (hcq) during the recent covid 19 crisis . they stopped researching for better solutions and used all resources to acquire hcq and were unable to flatten the curve of outbreak leading to longscale damage to life

Similarly a foolish person believes in only his version of truth and debates become one sided arguments with such people. It happens because the person living in the fool paradise become judgemental about the intelligence of others and become a speaker rather than listener. The negativity and war like atmosphere on social media is result of such behaviour

.a wise person in self doubt may put himself in undesirable circumstances .the british ruled over india which was thousand years old civilisation , the land of doctors like charaka, sushruta, astronomers like aryabhatta, mathematicians like vagabhatta and traditions like yoga and meditation on the pretext of “civilising the uncivilised ”. but it got its independence when people like lala aljpat rai Aurobindo ghosh reminded india of its civilisation and wisdom . so a wise man can get into trouble when it considers himself a fool but eventually it is the wisdom that will drive it drive solutions for better tomorrow
