RE: Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'The Prison Town' (Part #207)
Really nice post.
About the cats, if you dont own a cat i am sure you will have an issue with their staring, they are naturally attuned to non-verbal communication:)
In human culture, staring is often considered to be extremely rude. Therefore, this may naturally lead on to our own misconceptions and misinterpretations of a cats stare as well. Actually from the experience of owning a cat, cats stare at us because they are interested in what we are doing or she’s staring because she wants something to eat and believes that if she stares into your eyes she can somehow control your mind and force you to do her bidding. (OK, maybe the mind control part of that isn't true, but she may well be hungry :)
So @velimir, take that cat’s interest as a compliment, not all will stare like that. :)
I really like the history behind that church and prison. That shows a transition from bad to good.. Good always wins:)
I liked to know that you like history and raw knowledge. We can find information online very easily. Knowledge is another matter altogether.
It’s a very old observation that the most ignorant people are usually full of opinions, while many of the most knowledgeable people are full of doubt. Other people are certainly sources of knowledge just like you decide to ask for knowledge and not information.
My worry is that the superabundance of information is devaluing knowledge. The more that information piles up on Internet servers around the world, and the easier it is for that information to be found and taken for granted. But when the get the original inhabitants put you through the history, you wont forget anytime soon and ofcourse you would enjoy the conversation because the person will definitely show you around and you can touch them and even take your own picture.
I fear that the Internet has already greatly weakened our sense of what is distinctive about knowledge, and why it is worth seeking.
I really feel your mindset @velimir. About the reply you gave to @darksea, wow, that was epic. No one would know that you took the pic of that cat not just that it was scary and was staring, but because it was as if it was behind bars and your post here was about prison and cell. This is deep thinking at it's best. You deserve an oscar :)
This has spurred me to think deeper while reading your post. You are a Legend in thinking. Readers are plentiful: thinkers are rare.
I enjoyed the post. Thanks.
Great, i love your comments. Loved it. He is really a deep thinker.
Beautiful post indeed.
My worry is that the superabundance of information is devaluing knowledge. The more that information piles up on Internet servers around the world, and the easier it is for that information to be found, the less distinctive and attractive that knowledge will appear by comparison.
We need to get back to our roots when it comes to some certain areas. Like @velimir said in a previous post, we are loosing our cultural heritage and this time to the internet.
Thank you guys, very much, for your support! :)
You are very right Lucy, the more information we are bombarded with, the less time for thinking we can spare.
