Knowledge is facts, and facts are relative. Belief is blind faith in the unknown. Look instead for wisdom.
Facts are relative to understanding. What was considered fact hundereds of years ago, due to an increase in understanding, is no longer fact and what is considered fact now may no longer be when people have more understanding.
Once you have a belief you should strive to turn it into knowledge so your not blindly following something with no basis. Once you have knowledge you should seek out experience. Wisdom is knowledge with experience.
Knowledge : what is known Know: 1 a (1) : to perceive directly : have direct cognition of 2 a : to be aware of the truth or factuality of : be convinced or certain of b : to have a practical understanding of Belief: conviction of the truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon especially when based on examination of evidence wisdom:accumulated philosophic or scientific learning : [size=-1]KNOWLEDGE[/size] fact: 4 a : something that has actual existence <space exploration is now a fact> b : an actual occurrence <prove the fact of damage> relative:2 : a thing having a relation to or connection with or necessary dependence on another thing Lol??
A fact is the state of affairs. Facts are things that are "out there," and are true regardless of what we believe. So, it doesn't matter if something is "considered" a fact. If it's not the case, then it's not a fact.
Follow neither, probably. If you believe nothing, then you know nothing, and you only have the experience to follow. Experience itself may be an illusion, but at least it's one we can't wake up from (until we die, perhaps), unlike belief or knowledge...
Do you believe the words you wrote? Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me.. Is that what you believe about experience? Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..Tell me..
Facts are relative because they are only verifiable as probable, never certain. And wisdom is knowing how to use knowledge or belief. It must be earned, never given (as facts and beliefs can be given through teaching)
I just go by the definitions in a dictionary. It makes it easier to communicate with other people if we do that. I don't think your usage of the word relative is correct. Relative does not mean probable or uncertain. Knowledge:the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association (2) : acquaintance with or understanding of a science, art, or technique b (1) : the fact or condition of being aware of something (2) : the range of one's information or understanding <answered to the best of my knowledge> c : the circumstance or condition of apprehending truth or fact through reasoning : [size=-1]COGNITION[/size] d : the fact or condition of having information or of being learned Wisdom:a : accumulated philosophic or scientific learning : [size=-1]KNOWLEDGE[/size] b : ability to discern inner qualities and relationships : [size=-1]INSIGHT[/size] c : good sense : [size=-1]JUDGMENT[/size]
