Simply Knowing...

Simply knowing the truth will not change your world,

Unless you turn

knowledge into action.

Profound words of wisdom that so many in the world should consider taking to heart ... This piece reminds me of the differences between the traditional Church (Greek) concept of faith--which is believing something to be true, but not necessarily moved to action (like believing smoking will kill you, but never stopping until it does), and the Jewish (Hebrew word Emunah) concept of faith which in the simplest of terms says I believe, therefore I do, do, do--indicating that true belief always motivates one to action ... Well done ...

Thanks Marvin! I'm left speechless... I'm left without words... I agree though, People don't stop doing something they like until they get hurt or... well die... It's a sad truth but true.
Thanks again, Marvin!

I agree. If we don't attempt to change our world. We are just bystanders. Thank you for your wisdom and the excellent poetry.

Right on! The truth is useless if you don't implement it.

[C. Lee Battaglia]

Thanks Bek! I'm grateful for your kind words! Makes me feel happy!

I believe that the words knowledge and truth need to be swapped and then you will be spot on - because truth is absolute and knowledge is all an interpretation :)

Very wise words here. An excellent poem/quote, I feel like I should hang this on my wall, or write it in places where many people can see it. It gives me a lot to think about. Knowing something is great, and if you cannot or will not act upon those thoughts and feelings, nothing will be solved. Great work here C. Lee!

Thanks I really appreciate it... I think we just need a little motivation in a while.
