understanding knowledge...

As I moved through mountains and gorges of life I started seeing the world and my life more smoother, as I lived my life sunless I started seeing the sun, as I hated my contemporaries I started loving them… Life is smooth when it is rough, when we step on top rung of ladder without stepping the lowest rung we are always incomplete; so only loving is not a complete morality when we don’t learn to hate. If my teacher is a warrior and teaches me war and if I am not able to proclaim war against my teacher in battlefield when he stands against me I will never consider myself a true pupil. So every new thing and knowledge is a part we dare to embrace it. When we learn and face both male and female, yes and no, right and wrong, good and bad, ugly and beauty, ups and downs, tops and bottoms… then only we can breathe the ecstasy of knowledge. Who he only says yes, right, good… is nothing more than a buffoon. I am not trying to confound nor purge my readers but I am trying to bring order in chaos, spring in autumn… bear the eyes of owl and eagle along with eyes of human then we can see the world… That’s why I accept knowledge not only as good but also bad, not only as right also wrong, not only as love but also hate…

Milan Gurung (Freeman)

Philosophy, as I have hitherto understood and lived it, is a voluntary living in ice and high mountains – a seeking everything after strange and questionable in existence, all that has hitherto been excommunicated by morality.

Friedrich Nietzsche
