Surviving Knowledge
What does ‘surviving knowledge’ mean? It’s not about learning from someone else, but about discovering knowledge through everyday life. By the age of fifty, you should connect to such a life to gain the intellect to overcome the weight of life at that age. Living each day should be a process of learning and realization. After fifty, your daily life will become even richer. “If you can see the present, you can have the future.”

Knowledge comes in many forms. There is knowledge learned in school and knowledge gained from books. There is knowledge that saves yourself and others, and knowledge that harms both yourself and others. ‘Surviving knowledge’ is wisdom gained from experiences of adversity, trials, pain, and sorrow. When that wisdom becomes intellect, and that intellect becomes spirituality, our daily lives become more meaningful.
