Trend followers know one thing is nothing

Most of people simply live their life as "daily routine". They do not care what NASA does in space, what scientists do for climate change or what were philosophies of Socrates? Most people live by their live on own principles. They have logic that only interprets for them as right or wrong. Most people try to live as happy and target money for happiness. That’s all. They might follow mass. If the believe on God, they too do the same. It could be blindly acceptance or arbitrary influence. It could be from outside influence such as culture or own inadequacy.

Why they do? They know nothing! They have no idea of knowing the knowledge. They mainly follow mass. If it is a "trend" that has short haircut and coloring like a circle shape on center portion of hair with red color, they will follow and name it "fashion" or "style". We could call them "trend followers".

From the Greek philosophical era to the current modern world, majority of people are average or below average in terms of knowledge. Socrates was struggling to enlighten people including the king. This average type of people never contributed to the knowledge including science and philosophy. Also, we cannot blame them. It is their limitation or knowledge condition. You can never and ever make a butterfly as eagle. And, eagle’s strength and wings automatically take her to soaring. Butterfly is beautiful. But, it is very hard to bear when it live as caterpillar. Most people are like caterpillar and many people are like pupa. First one can destroy your garden; second one can make you feel like useless or nothing.

Unfortunately, you have to live with all type of people. Sometimes, they may look at you and say “Look, this fella is kinda oldie”.  You may smile and reply “Yes, I know that I know nothing”. You don’t need to explain to everyone, especially when people act like "I know everything". If know who you are and what are you limitations, that is great.
