When you say you "know" something, do you usually?

Question: When you say you "know" something, do you usually!?

"Think that you know" or "Feel that you know"!. If it is both, then what must be done first!? Do you ever have to come back to the latter!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

In my opinion, the only way to verify anything at all is to do some empirical tests!. Even then it's a toss-up because there are different levels of perspective!. To "think that you know" is really self-referential, and to "feel that you know" is sort of a "gut" or "heart" knowledge that is both harder to dispute and harder to rely on!. It depends on the realm you're evaluating, of course, and there's always the fact that you're feeling whatever emotion you are!. So in short, I have no idea whether or not there is a God!. ;)Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is that feeling you get in your stomach that you have a good idea that something is familiar enough to say you have "been" there- you might not know exactly the right answer but you can contribute to itWww@QuestionHome@Com

I usually want others to think that I know, when in fact I do not know!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If I say I know something then I would KNOW it as fact, not feeling!. If I thought I knew something then I wouldn't state that I knew, but say I thought!.!.!.!.

You can't "feel" you know because knowing is not a feeling!. Its fact!. Its inanimate!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well there are things I know for sure and there are things I just know a little bit about, and then there are things I think I know, but I'm wrong in what I think about them, I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "what must be done 1st"!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I never say I "know" something unless I do!. If it is an opinion or a belief I like to be clear that it is that which I am expressing!. It's always a mistake to say you know if you just think you know or even feel that you know because then you may have to backtrack and retract your words and apologize!. It's a lot more comfortable to express opinions or feelings (which are easy to change) than have to admit being wrong!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
