Opinions

The last days I have had some thoughts tumbling around in my head, about something to write about again. First I started to think about two questions that I set up against each other: Shall people be rewarded for the objective value of what they do? Or shall people be rewarded for how much they succeed with how they want to be rich?

I started to think about this, in a way where I thought about how some people do very much valuable work, without gaining so much pay for it. And others do not something valuable work, but get very much pay for it. After I had set up these two questions in contrast to each other, I began to think that these questions to be addressed, leads to many different perspectives, in a way where it will be difficult to end up with a clear and easy conclusion. The conclusions change according as you connect them to different connections. It is possible to think in different ways regarding to these questions. Such thinking is something that can be as a kind of hobby for me. It is interesting to see how different conclusions leads further.

At this level in these thoughts, I started to think about either it is right to get an opinion from what you know, or get knowledge from what your opinion is. In that way, to get an opinion from what you know, is to take the consequence of what you know. To get knowledge from what your opinion is, is to take the consequence of what your opinion is. But if your opinion already is based on wrong knowledge, it will lead you to more wrong knowledge to try to prove what you already have as an opinion. These questions can also be seen in different perspectives, but it is quite clear that to base your knowledge on an opinion based on wrong knowledge, can lead you to an incomprehensive danger you do not understand. So normally, it is the best to base your opinion on what you first can understand. First understand, and afterwards get an opinion.

When people talk about that others have little human resources, I think that is wrong. All humans have much human resources, but not all get their human resources developed. Something similar to cars that not have got their engines started. That the humans all have equal human worth; is that a knowledge, or an opinion? I give that question to my readers, so they can think about it themselves. One of my intentions with these texts, is to activate further thinking.
