If you're a curious person, not as in 'fass-farraw' (prying) or being nosey, but tending to ask questions because you're genuinely eager to acquire knowledge, by God you'll someday be knowledgeable, for it is through asking that you'll find out what the answer is.
For those who pretend to know it all, and are inclined to make inference based on inconclusive evidence, and to pass judgment based on such evidence, they shall at best be offhand, and at worst be totally ignorant.
In China, it is said that "he who asks a question remains a fool for five minutes. He who does not ask remains a fool forever." Here we say: "Gaache ak xamadi, laajul ako indi" (failing to ask brings shame and ignorance).
If you ask me, put on your asking caps and seperate yourself from forming opinions without any just cause, and from holding on to shameful misconceptions. Things are sometimes not what they seem, and sometimes you may think you're near when you are SO, so far.
