Quote by Albert Einstein

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what

Summary

This quote implies that simply knowing and understanding the current state of things or how things are doesn't necessarily provide a clear pathway towards what should be or what is ideal. Knowledge of the present is essential, but it's not sufficient on its own to guide us in determining what ought to be done or what the desired outcome or future should look like. It highlights the importance of critical thinking, strategic planning, and envisioning a better future instead of solely relying on existing knowledge or accepting the status quo.

We believe that God is big enough to give every nationality their own religion, as he's given them their own taste in food, in plants, in furniture, and housing. I think that each religion has their basic Christ-ish way to get to the Everlasting God.
