Today’s reflection is on the word Knowledge.
Do you ever wonder where or how we acquire knowledge? Does knowledge come from our experiences at school? Does it come from our families and upbringing? Or does knowledge come from our interaction with the world? I think knowledge comes from all of these and probably many more areas. Look around. Where else can you gain knowledge?
