Consilience. When information is gathered to form knowledge and then used to gain insight through inspiration, it becomes wisdom. The world we live in is now multidimensional and a complex system. You can’t correctly interpret and understand it using only the simple patterns of a limited worldview. After collecting and discarding fragments of information and scattered knowledge, we must reconnect them to discover new patterns. Consilience is the ability to see wisely in a world filled with significant volatility and uncertainty. It’s a world where mistakes are easy to make if we only focus on one side. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
She laughed when God said she would conceive a son to the old Sarah. However, Sarah was pregnant and gave birth to her son Isaac, whose name means “smile.” The prophet Nathan rebuked King David in the words of God. David wept. The same God's words, some laughed, others cried. If Sarah's laughter was absurd, David's cry was repentance. The Bible rarely records people's unresponsiveness to God. You are at least worth the life if you can laugh or cry at something. Smile a lot and cry a lot. Life is short. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
