What is Knowledge?


                Knowledge is reality, because it’s through knowledge where people are able to get a broader sense of reality. Knowledge is being aware of different matters. In order to obtain knowledge, we have to experience things in order to gain a new perspective on the adventures that we face every day. However, knowledge is only gained according to our desire to receive it. We can only soak up so much information based on our willingness to be aware of everything. But it is not horrible because our brain filters out the information that we aren’t using at the moment. Knowledge varies from person to person because no two people are alike. Therefore, because knowledge is based on experience, everyone’s knowledge is not the same. Some know more than others because of more experience while others are not experienced so their knowledge is not as broad.

                To know something also means to be familiar with something. It’s when we are aware of the characteristics of this thing. When we are familiar with something we are comfortable which makes it easy for us to interact with these things because knowledge and familiarity make it easier to deal with things.

                The idea that knowledge is reality goes on to show that everyone’s knowledge is going to be based on their experiences. All of these forms of experience and knowledge will differ because no one person lives the same life. Therefore, just because two people have different forms of knowledge, it doesn’t mean they’re wrong.
