We enter life ignorant,
Ignorant of everything.
As we grow, we learn,
Learn so many things.
Every day we search,
Search for new ways,
Search for wisdom.
Each day is special
As we learn the meanings,
The meanings of life.
Sometimes we stop learning,
We think we understand all,
But what we do not realise
Is that understanding
Makes the mind lazy.

A fine write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
Excellent thought provoking writing. I don't agree with your finale though. In arriving at acceptance of a challenging subject we move through several stages of reasoning to arrive at several plateau of understanding on a given subject. Entering in to conversation with an individual of a different opinion forces us to mentally retreat back through those plateau and re-reason, re-evaluate out chosen end point..... and we may even change our mind.
That's not the making of a lazy mind sir!
Of course we start thinking again when other thoughts and ways of life are given to us, that is what is so valuable about experience, we can get to an understanding and start to relax but someone may say something or something may happen in our lives which causes us to rethink, that shakes us into thinking once more.
Thank you for your wonderful input d a.

we only really fear what we dont understand, or what we are unable to control.....
Very true.
