Pale philosophy in fragments .1

Knowledge
(Tetractys)


New
Learnings
Made me not
Wiser than 'fore
Often acquired insights prompt arguments.

I like the message of this poem: promoting reflection on prior knowledge rather than pursuing half-hearted understandings of new concepts.

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank you, for your wonderful observations.

[Riddhi]

Most clever writing that I ever read..I am actually getting immense pleasure by reading your poems and I want to read and review as many as I can now...I must say that you are indeed a good writer..Keep on writing..

[Mrudula Rani]

Your wonderfully kind words are going straight to my heart. Thank you dear Ridhi.

I am in full admiration of your mastery of so many poetic forms (this poem & many others). I love the point you’re making here. I have found it’s not worthwhile to try to show off what we know for this very reason, as you say in your poem. Modesty offers a much smoother float thru life (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Margie Querida, I am over joyed with your wonderfully kind words. Thank you for your affection and encouragement, I appreciate your words very much. Um beijo.

Knowledge in the wrong mind makes for imminent disaster or/and back to back sleeping?!
Foresight is only for those with true vision?!
Best I can do in these circumstances, Mrudula.. your words have me thinking a little too much.

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank you. dear Emmajoy, for your beautiful thoughts. Hope you had a wonderful trip to Italy. Uma abraço.

My thoughts are often better than the vision behind or beyond reality! Many thank yous. :)
