COMPREHENSION
Well, easily the most important act
ever, in one’s life is comprehension. So, comprehension is the most desirable
ability to acquire from childhood on. Why do I suggest it to be the most
desirable?
Life is a game of interaction/
responses / ability to react to requirements. Each of these rests on our ‘understanding’
of the work or commitment placed on us. Our commitment may just be, ‘doing a
thing’ or supporting an event by performing a duty or lending a financial help.
Irrespective of what it is, one has to be clear of the kind of support expected
of self. To be able to give the best from our side, the most essential need is
to understand “what am I expected to do?"
Such question may keep erupting
through the day –in our own work or the new ‘demand’ placed on us. Yet, it
stands to reason to basically understand
–all the implications attendant to the work on hand.
So, it turns out that, beyond the
realm of enthusiasm or happiness over a work, the person must comprehend –all the
requirements for accomplishing a work to near perfection. If so, a certain ‘extra-burden’
may accrue to the one who has to complete the work.
It would always be undesirable to
disband work ‘half-finished’ citing reasons of burden of time /money or intricacy.
Put in plain terms, one has to
fully understand all the facets of work involved and the time needed, besides
of course any monetary commitment thereof. So, understanding an issue has
several levels or stages about it. To be completely informed of a thing is
referred to as ‘COMPREHENSION’.
Consider the state of advantage that accrues to us from true comprehension as against that emerging from basic understanding. Obviously, the former state is a desirable advantage in avoiding surprises and unforeseen pressure from participation. For a well comprehended mind, most items and ideas can be handled with due ease. Understanding a little of something and later getting to know of several needs would be disturbing. So, a case for ‘comprehension’ is often legitimate. So, making ‘comprehension’ a trait in life is an asset to tide over difficulties /inconveniences.
True
comprehension is a grand virtue for all learners. Learning at any level turns
meaningful when the learner comprehends the items learned. Comprehension is a ‘knowledge
pack’ to put it mildly.
