Stop Overloading on Knowledge: Take Action Instead

The Pitfall of Over-Contemplation

Some people spend their lives contemplating the meaning of life, searching for the perfect way to live. They read Osho, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Plato, Socrates, Diogenes, and others, hoping to find the ultimate truth. But they miss the point: these philosophers didn’t just want people to understand life—they wanted them to live it differently.

Great thinkers like Plato and Socrates observed the world and realized people were living mindlessly. They wanted to awaken humanity, to make people think deeper and live more consciously. But their teachings were misunderstood. Instead of inspiring action, they often led people to detach from life entirely, leaving everything behind in pursuit of enlightenment.

The Reality of Balance in Society

Since the dawn of humanity, there have been two types of people: the smart and the less smart. The smarter ones—like Socrates and Plato—observed the ignorance around them and tried to enlighten others. They wanted people to use their minds to understand life better, which would lead to emotional and mental balance.

But not everyone is meant to live like a philosopher. If everyone abandoned worldly responsibilities to pursue enlightenment, who would grow crops? Who would transport goods? Who would maintain society?

To satisfy human needs, other professions emerged. For example, people seeking physical pleasure led to the rise of prostitution, which later evolved into a system of trade: giving something in exchange for something else. This need for exchange eventually developed into complex trade systems, including barter and currency.

This evolution wasn't random; it was a natural balance. If everyone were highly enlightened, no one would be left to perform essential tasks. Society needs a mix of thinkers and doers to function.

The Trap of Modern Knowledge Seekers

In today's world, smart people continue to seek knowledge—but now, they do it through Instagram reels, books, shows, and movies. They think they are special, destined to understand life more deeply and enlighten others. But why are they doing it? What's the purpose?

This brings us to two types of knowledge seekers:

1. Those Seeking Personal Fulfillment: These individuals pursue knowledge to live a more meaningful, fulfilling life. They want to avoid regrets and make the most out of their existence.
2. Those Seeking to Enlighten Humanity: These people want to raise human consciousness by sharing their knowledge and helping others find answers to life's unanswered questions.

Both types have a purpose, but there's a catch: if they only collect knowledge and never apply it, it's useless. The first group must use their wisdom to improve their lives. The second group must share their insights with the world.

So, ask yourself: Which one are you?
Personally, I find myself leaning towards the first reason—I want to live a fulfilling life. But I also take time to share my thoughts with the world to help others become more conscious.

Why Should We Make Others More Conscious?

The answer is simple: a more conscious society means less chaos. Less chaos leads to a better atmosphere, fewer conflicts, and ultimately, a thriving humanity.

The Bottom Line: Take Action

If you've gathered enough knowledge, it's time to stop learning and start doing. Don't let your ideas die in your notes app. Don’t end up with a tombstone that reads, "Knew everything, did nothing."

As Nietzsche said, “Staring into the abyss of meaninglessness is only worthwhile if you emerge stronger.” Right now, you’re just… staring.

Don’t let contemplation paralyze you. Use your knowledge to act. Otherwise, all these insights are meaningless.
