Bodoh

Bodoh.

Bodoh itu subjektif. Kata orang.

As for me, stupidity is clear. Easy to spot.

Orang kata jangan senang-senang nak bodohkan orang.

Some people are stupid.

But please, before you jump into conclusion, read this first.

Yes, I call some people stupid.

Tapi bodoh itu bukan tak tahu.

To have no knowledge of; is not stupidity.

Bodoh itu ignorant.

Ignorant of what is right. To be in the state of knowing yet kept going the opposite direction; is stupid.

Bilamana dia tahu merompak itu salah, tapi tetap buat.
Bilamana dia tahu hutang itu kena bayar, tapi buat tak endah.
Bilamana dia tahu solat itu wajib, tapi tetap tinggal.
Bilamana dia tahu hukum menutup aurat, tapi tetap menayang.

Semua atas dasar "belum bersedia". Not ready to be wise? Or sensible?

Ilmu itu dicari dan diberi; bukan sekadar untuk disimpan dalam kepala.

Knowledge without application is pointless.
