Knowledge without goals is a stupid thing? How?

Doubt without fault? How?

What I write is completely comply with the statement, when you get knowledge you must have particular purposes behind getting knowledge about specific subject, for sure you have some goals in life. However, for an instance, your field is Biology but you want to become a Botanist then you study other things purposelessly even you don't take interest in what your field actually is, even if tomorrow is your exam and you are showing an irresponsible attitude and studying novels and other things I would say Its a waste.

When you mistrust someone and it is actually without aware of reality. You doubt on someone, and above all, you give a scarce punishment to the person. This fallacy of attitude should be avoided. Nevertheless, I named It "Doubt without fault"

I do not agree. Knowledge of any kind is never wasted. I am a literature student but I am deeply interested in biology and anatomical science as well although its not my field. I do not consider it a waste of time and energy and whatsoever.

Let's have a debate and see what other members have to say.

I don't agree to this statement. How come knowledge be a waste in any way?

Goal, field and subject oriented knowledge in my view, with all due respect, is a very narrow approach of even defining the term "Knowledge" itself.

Quest and love for Knowledge is derived from the ancient Greeks love for knowledge in the shape of the broad area that was termed as "Philosophy" and I think there was nothing as field, subject and goal oriented thing in their pursuit of knowledge in those ancient times that lay the whole foundation of human wisdom and knowledge for us.

Were Plato, Aristotle, Socrates and so many big mammoths and intellectual giants and sages of mankind and history, pursuing a particular filed, goal, job, or something, when they were lost in their quest for understanding the basic essence and core fundamental questions and curiosities of life?

I think such a statement would be hurting the souls of such great wise men and geniuses in their graves. Because, if you are restricting the term knowledge to such narrow confines and objectives, you are killing the entire essence of this area, which is so broad and vast that mankind is still wondering and searching for the "ultimate truths" that will unlock the greatest mysteries that has been surrounding the mankind since the day we took inception in this world.


Therefore, I think knowledge knows no bounds, no parameters, no boundaries and no petty mortal wordily objectives ( an objective such as quest hunger and lust for knowledge can be a valid objective in this context besides that nothing).

Knowledge in my view should be just for knowledge sake!

I think, knowledge without action has no value. It has nothing to do with "Goals" but with practice. Simply, I ll say, Whatever is learnt must be brought into practice....
Amal ka eik ounce Koul k eik ton se bari hota hai

Whatever is learnt can never be brought into practice without distinction.

Again, I can't agree with this. Just for example, I have learnt how digestive system works or what actually is "time within time". I know I have learnt something important and interesting but how should I put it into practice? If it cannot be practiced, is it of no value?

Knowledge is never wasted.
If you achieve your goal,will then knowledge(acquired to achieve goal) become useless?Simply No.Means it has nothing to do with the goal.Your goal can be dependent on knowledge but knowledge and its value can't be dependent on goal. Knowledge remains a power even it doesn't bear any goal or action.

The Hope we still have.

Knowledge is invariably purposeful with the only difference that sometimes this purpose is apparent and other times it is intangible. For instance if one person has to take the exams of a subject and he acquires knowledge in it, this is apparent purpose of knowledge where he knows why he acquires knowledge. And when one reads general books like novels, motivational books etc which sounds a wastage perhaps because the purpose here is not visible as in you don’t have to take the exams or get marks or whatsoever. But whatever you read goes deep inside you, it touches your innermost, it helps you think from a broader perspective and expands your horizons. This all constitutes the pillars of wisdom inside you, which is a supreme purpose. Therefore the knowledge, irrespective of its kind, is always purposeful.
