Dare to Know


It is a great dictum of great philosopher Immanuel Kant. Every human being desires to know. But, only few dare to know. What I mean? Our desire to know springs from what is already there that is readymade knowledge. In other words, this does not involve knowledge risk, adventure and exploration. Human desire to know is only information that is disseminated by different tools such as news paper, television, books, and internet and so on. It is mostly about what is happening in the world and to people at large. The greatest misfortune of human life is that he never desires to know about him/her self.
Only few people in the world dare to know, that is dare to discover and explore about them. Knowing about oneself involves risk, adventure, kick and it is a greatest struggle. Thus, many people shun away from it. Dare to know but what? It involves two steps: 1) Dare to Know who and what you are that is what you are about in life, what is the purpose of life on earth, what is meaning of life. 2) Dare to know the fact that you are existing in the world that is each one is called to create their own life.
