Only in Middle East
People knows every thing
While I was walking through my hometown “ankawa – Kurdistan”, I met a nice young man, happened to be the head of a Lebanese company, just moved to Kurdistan. I asked him politely a very simple question, about his profession, after a warm welcoming him as usual? He answered me without any hesitation-;- “I do everything”, and asked him again, trying to know what kind of field he works in. He repeated the same answer “everything”, and added very proudly “I KNOW EVERY THING”. I was surprised by his answers, but after a while I realized that the statement “I KNOW EVERY THING”, is very normal here in Middle East and it is wide spread statement among most of the people.
Everybody in Middle East talks about everything. If you talk about science they argue with you-;- if you talk about an architectural, health, physics, they know more than you. What is more astonishing, it is very hard to hear the term, “I do not know”. It seems to me that the word “I do not know”, does not exist in their dictionary.
It is a big confusing issue, when you see doctors, engineers, pharmacist, talking about religion, and in the other side, religious people, talking about politics, human sciences, sociology, anthropology,´-or-even economics. So, the biggest problem we are facing is not the lack of knowledge among our people, but the “EGO” that lies beneath, which is crippling us and destroying our ability to invent, reconstruct our countries-;- on the top of that, preventing us from making a good choices.
It seems to me that the real problem we are facing in our daily life consist on how to learn about humility, which is the key, opens the gates of knowledge, and to gain a real access to get the collective intelligence in any field, so It is nice to say "I do not know”, when you really do not know, because the claim “to know everything” is the real ignorance itself.
