What We Know

We as human beings believe to govern the world, and know everything needed to make this place better. But in chapter 17 there are some lines that show the levels of knowledge we have. “The highest is barely known” (Part 17) this means that the highest levels of knowledge is barely known, and we instead believe we know it all. This level is followed by three others, “Then comes what people know and love, then what is feared, and then which is despised” (Part 17) I repeat that these levels are referring to what we know, and as its said we know more of what we despise that what we love.

Another thing that is said in this part that I also agree with is a line that says, “Who does not trust enough will not be trusted.” (Part 17) I have an agreement with this because if you don’t trust people then you wont earn their trust back. It’s a normal conduct from the human beings, if you feel uncomfortable with something you will throw it away, the same with trust. So to be trusted you must trust.
