Great debaters

Today I had a discussion with my friend about how important the knowledge is. The discussion started with how the corruption in Indonesia still a long way to be cleaned. But the media, and people needs a victim to be caught as soon as possible. And also the police has to at least do something about the corruption. But it’s just a matter of knowing that “GayTam” ( initial only for privacy) is only a small person that’s doing the tax corruption, and there are still so many other tax officer doing the same thing and in bigger cases amount of money.
Then the discussion continued talking about how a religion is connected between “just a matter knowledge” and spiritual thing of human. The discussion ended with a conclusion that it’s good to have a lot of knowledge in a religion, we have to understand what a ritual of every religion means, not just doing it without knowing the reason behind it. And also in the application it comes back to us to apply the knowledge to every situation in every aspect of our life. It’s not always true, and not always wrong. Every man has his/her own way of understanding the knowledge inside the bible, and it also determines how wise a man from his application of religion knowledge in his/her life.
And the last thing that we discussed earlier this evening was about how to overcome fear in our head. It’s between getting rid of fear from our mind by not exposing it to our senses ( by seeing it, or hearing it) and also we have to learn the fear itself from the knowledge side. Why we have that fear, and how the fear works. So in the end, I concluded that it’s good to overcome the fear itself at first by not getting to the fear too deep, after that we have to strengthen that belief by knowing how I can overcome the fear from the science side.
It’s good to have a discussion like this, it tests our mind how far we understand a problem, sharing what we know to others, and learn something from others too.
