Just as one spoils the stomach by overfeeding and thereby impairs the whole body, so can one overload and choke the mind by giving it too much nourishment! For the more one reads the fewer are the traces left of what one has read; the mind is like a tablet that has been written over and over. However it is impossible to reflect; and it is only by reflection that one can assimilate what one has read. If one reads straight ahead without pondering over it later, what has been read does not take root, but is for the most part lost. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) Commentary: College was the best example! I would cram for the final exams then move on to the next semester! However I could not recall anything I had learned? There was no time to reflect and contemplate the material! The cow chews his cud and tastes the food twice! We are to study and show ourselves approved unto God! Study his word! Recall, review and recite his word! Reflect on what has been said to you through his word! One of the signs of the end times according to Jesus is that knowledge shall increase! Without God the more people know the dumber they get! Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
