I could have- and should have- resisted this false belief by attaining true knowledge through straight discussions with knowledgeable persons, but chose to go lone wolf : el lobo solo. ^L^ (Happy Emoticon)
Here's a second tool for our project: Knowledge = Properly Justified True Belief. Belief, writes Morris, is necessary for knowledge.
You can believe something that is false. And you can think you know it. But you can't genuinely know something that is false. You can know of something false that is false. But to know something is to know something to be true. And you can't know something to be true unless it is; which is to say, you can't know something unless it's not false. Got it? (p. 45) *L*
Moriss then quotes Confucious on Knowledge:
When you know a thing, to hold that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it, is knowledge. (p. 64)
In years past-seven years, or so- I was reawakening to my destiny, and having a certain difficulty figuring out people who "dissed" (disrespected) me. That is, if they "acted" like jerks, were they "in fact" jerks? Alot of times, I believed they kinda stepped out of "true" character to kind of test/toughen me up.
