“The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms.”
Socrates (470 - 399 BC)
The Importance of Understanding Terms (Definition) #
We have entered the Age of Knowledge. Within ordinary activities, Knowledge and Wisdom are synonymous. The ability to learn effectively is a key factor if you want to become successful in this amazing and challenging new era.
As Socrates said nearly 2.500 years ago: “The definition of terms is the beginning of wisdom.” This is a definition that establishes the most important aspect of effective learning, communication, personal development and acquisition of knowledge.
Failure to understand the terms or being misinterpreted will lead to the removal of Love and its replacement by Disgust.
Love requires closeness. So when you don't define something, you create distance between you and the thing you don't define.
Disgust creates distance from the object to be interacted with. With so many things that you “cannot understand”, you will feel disgusted.
If you cannot define a term, you cannot judge its importance. It cannot be conceptualized, therefore you cannot use it, you cannot act in relation to it, just as you cannot have it, create it, or achieve your desires in the field. Worse, it makes you obsess over and inadvertently create an unhandled object.
In short: If you can't define it, you can't have it in every respect.
