Knowledge is key

I think it is so important to know things. Whether they are small fun facts or a piece of information that can aid your entire life, knowledge is knowledge. I recently started reading the news every morning before starting my work day to get a better understanding of the world around me. There are so many things happening every single day around us that we just do not know about, not because we do not want to know, but many times we get so wrapped up in our own lives, that we give little importance to everything else.

It is crazy to think that wherever you may be in the world, is just a small fraction of this huge mess. Whatever corruption you think is in your own city, is just one small piece of this world wide game of chess between powerful world actors. And us, the average and everyday citizens have no clue about.

This is not a political post by any means, but rather an "open your eyes and read about the world around you" type of post. Reading becomes an essential part of this knowledge. You cannot know about the deeper more important things happening if all you do is read your social media platforms. Open a news site.. any one. You do not have to look at the world events necessarily. You can even look at the lifestyle section. Read about how other people around the globe spend their Wednesday afternoon. Learn about a different culture. Learn a new word.

Knowledge is so essential. I encourage you to get more informed. Read and become more active. Be the change you wish to see in the world.
