Understanding and Knowledge

“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.” - Albert Einstein

I find this quote to be even more on point given today's political climate. Knowledge is a precious commodity and must be freely shared in order to perpetuate it. Along with that must come a willingness to try and understand the opinions and viewpoints of others, even if at the end of it all we still believe that they are wrong. Without an understanding of them we can never hope to change their worldview.

Yesterday, I worked on my goals for 2018. Some of them I couldn't really break into smaller goals, but I do plan on tracking them during 2018. I also worked with Andrew and Tiana on their schoolwork stuff. Finally, I finished reading one of my library books.

Today, I went grocery shopping with Remington, and I filled up the gas tank. After we got home and I put away the groceries, the three youngest kids and I went over to my mom's house. We hung out with my sister and her husband (and their four kids) playing games and chatting.
