Is our Comprehension more important or understanding?!

From the time we are children we are taught how important it is to understand things; how to calculate and count; to answer back with the right answer(s)..... And we are taught how to do things right, and should strive to doing them better and better..... We even now, at the place of employment may keep getting training after training to do things "right", based on new policies or orders in place. We are given the idea(s) that what the employers are teaching or training us to do, is the only way, and should be complied with as they are tought, with no arguments or questions.

These kinds ideas have been working in the Industrial Age of "assembly-lines" and doing things the SAME for the sake of the policies of the products in place. Unfortunately, the same ideas cannot be applied to Human beings, unless we have the Assembly of products like made-up humans in mind. When individuals get trained that way, in such "boxy" or assembly-line kind of mentality, in their Lives, day in and day out, whether in their personal relationships; professionally; and in the political arena or society, then we could be heading towards having a hard-headed or society that is likely to be stupid. And as the saying goes, "stupid is what stupid does"! Along the lines are people who are untrainable and unconformists, who not only won't do what are told to do, but no matter how better you give them the answer or help, they may just say and have the attitude of, "whatever". These people not only reject any ideas or methods or techniques that you might offer them, but they do not have any ideas of their own to offer either.

Unfortunately, the problem that we are facing in our society at this time is that we have the lack of collaboration. And that means our society is "bill-pay" bound. People almost cannot afford thinking outside the box because it can "cost" them. People may do whatever they are told or asked to do, to make the money to pay & meet their bills and strive to make some more to live the pretended luxury life. However, ones who are the Intelligent not only keep the integrity of their ideas, but also strive to protect them, by patenting; copywriting, and other legal means. It is important to point out that the ones who may not afford paying for such legal means of protecting their ideas, may at some point loose the Rights to their ideas, or their ideas may be copied to the point that they may not be able to do any thing about them.

But the point of the matter is that if we want to have a more productive society in the 21st Century, we must strive to change our mentality from assembly to Innovative thinking. One thing that we must consider in this Information Age is that Ideas are going forward much faster than, by the time they get through the slow process of patenting & copywriting, they may get most likely out dated. The reason for that is, at this time, in our Global-Economy, all things almost happening or being communicated "all-at-once" or at a very fast pace. Understanding may have helped us in the Industrial Age, but the Information Age of technology has created a Bridge to the next step, that comes the Age of Utilizing Energy. And that is, Every thing Is ENERGY.

Comprehension is the most important point at this time, in the 21st Century, and that is due to the Deeper-Level that goes beyond what we may be "understanding" on the surface. For example, by Exploring the nature of Quantum-Mechanics we are now gotten into the arena that has been the Closest way of looking at the NATURE of things. And if we do not Apply the Concepts and Ideas that we are LEARNING into our every day "mundane" world that we have created, we will perish.
