Oh, I am so hoping that you, my friends, have by now taken time to watch Chimamanda Adejie's "the problems with the single story." If not, please do!
After class today, I'll have watched it all the way through 4 times and taken notes once. Get the idea I think she's had something to say?
So here goes my analysis:
"but sometimes our humble hearts can help us more than our proud minds. We never really know enough until we recognize that God knows it all."
That is taken from The Message, 1 Corinthians 8.
Here's more.
"If it becomes everything some people end up as know-it-alls who treat others ad know-nothings. Real knowledge isn't that insensitive. We need to be sensitive to the fact that WE 'RE NOT ALL AT THE SAME LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING IN THIS."
I have been guilty of living the SINGLE STORY when I "thought" knowing was everything and I was a know-it-all. When I have that attitude, then others become (to me) KNOW-NOTHINGS.
No one is a know nothing. That, my friends, is an example of my living as though the single story is the whole story.
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
