Communication : Notes On The Day Of Judgment

Have you ever had such a yearning for knowledge? If a person is taught from a young age, what is told to be the “truth”, he or she will be less willing to hear out any other form of the truth. Learning the difference between knowledge and truth is a hard task to accomplish. Especially if society restricts whom is allowed to gain any knowledge. As a person gains more knowledge, he or she is able to distinguish knowledge from truth.

Thus, the idea of Word in verses 1 through 3 of Gospel does in reframes the notion of Wisdom from Proverbs 8 in Verses 1 through 2 and 22 through 30.

“It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is base and evil. It is as if we were speaking alone to no ears but our own. And we know well that there is no transgression blacker than to do or think alone.” (pg. 1)

“The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it.”

A proverb (Hebrew marshal) is a short poetic sentence conveying wisdom in a concise and memorable form. (p.259) Solomon the writer of proverbs, was told by God” he could ask for anything he wanted and God would give it to him. Solomon asked for wisdom to lead the people, so they would know the difference between right and wrong.”(1Kings 3:5-9 paraphrased) According to Hindson and Yates “Hebrew wisdom literature taught people not only how to make good choice s in life but how to make godly choices.” (p.259) Proverbs shows many parallels and contrasts, usually in a two sentence form. In this essay we will look at the teachings of Hebrew wisdom on diligence and laziness, and how it corresponds with the contrast between wisdom and folly.

“The doors of wisdom are never shut” was the first thing to stand out to me from Benjamin Franklin’s literary works. To me it means that there is always more to learn no matter how much is already known. Someone could have been learning as much as possible since the day they were born and still not have leaned even close to everything. People

Scripture, prophetic guidance, knowledge, and discernment in the faith community must walk hand in hand to reveal the true will of God.

"All of it is clear to a person who has understanding and right to those who have acquired knowledge." (Proverbs 8:6-9)

“You will find the world in your own eyes, if they learn how to see; in your own heart if it learns how to feel; and in your own fingers if they learn how to touch.” (Dunham 188).

“The truth is never simple. It’s only in the Western world that you think knowledge is something you can acquire quickly and easily. It takes time. The truth never hurries.”

Thus an individual becomes more practical and this makes a person question the things taught during childhood. According to Voltaire, this questioning is the philosophy that makes an individual more realistic and practical in life as it is based on the truth discovered by that individual. This approach makes one being honest to himself and gives the ability to identify truth. Voltaire also emphasises on the fact that to achieve true knowledge one must follow one’s heart industriously. As Charles Darwin wrote “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science”

"....you yourselves must be filled with wonder and when you have acquired that, you are prepared.”- Maria Montessori

Listening is often confused with hearing. This serious misconception can lead us to believe that good listening is instinctive. In fact, good listening is an active, sophisticated process – a learned behavior – that demands focus and attention. Listening takes place on

Those not thoroughly educated in communication tend to confuse the terms “hearing” and “listening.” Although they appear to mean the same thing, utilize the same body part, and are both required for functional communication, there is a great difference between these two actions. Hearing involves the perception of sound using the ears, while listening is based upon giving attention to the sound being perceived. Additionally, because these concepts are different, there are also several different ways of improving hearing and listening. Thus, there are several differences between these two concepts, and it is important to signify these differences in order to practice effective communication.

"Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever" (Aristophanes). It means you can outgrow immaturity but ignorance can be learned.The worth of a life is not determined by a single failure or a solitary success.
