I recently read the story about knowledge. So I asked myself: what is knowledge actually? Is it purely the multiplication of information? Or is it something that I know from experience? Or something that I have heard and decided to be true for me? Is it what I consciously acquire as conviction? And what does "I know this or that" mean? Does it mean that I have already heard about it and that this information is sufficient for me or does it mean that I have had a personal experience with it? I found that knowledge can have many layers. From superficial and unreflective memorisation - like a chemical formula - to deep experience: knowing what love feels like. In French, the verb for to know - savoir - can also have the meaning of to be able, to be capable. I like that. Maybe that's why it's called "savoir vivre": to have really understood how life works. Does this also apply to you?

I wish you an extraordinary day!
