Knowledge Without Understanding . . . What's It Worth?

"When you cease to try to understand than you will know without understanding."

Chinese proverb


And if you really don't understand how can you act on what you know?

    Isn't "knowing" the same as "understanding"? I think it is.

    Well, there are times I think I "know" something when in fact I don't.

    Maybe the best example is this. As my boys grew up I often "knew" what they did but didn't always "understand" why they did it; an admission my folks would find humous justice were they alive today.
