Not to be able to recognize something is to be unfamiliar with the subject. It is likely to be conceded that there will be more things unfamiliar in one’s life than those that are familiar to us. Subjects that are unfamiliar need to be researched if they are to be made familiar to one. Indeed, they become more interesting if they are of the unfamiliar variety and will become researched as being of more interest than those that are familiar. Indeed, the more familiar something is, the more boring it can be said to be.
It is the newer the subject matter that is more likely to hold one’s interest than a familiar study, where the matter is more likely to be known already. Once a subject has been diagnosed as being unfamiliar, the more likely is the interest is to be considered. In fact, as with most things in life, once the interest has been aroused the added information becomes more interesting as the facts continue to present themselves. The deeper the knowledge acquired, the more interest is built up, so that the detail is almost sufficient to be collected and specialist knowledge becomes available.
Expertise is then a status that may be attributed to the detail, which becomes greater than others may have obtained. It is surely now that this once unfamiliar subject has become familiar and the rules of acquiring the wisdom about it increases with each additional piece of information that becomes available. Unfamiliar details are added to the whole and increases the variety of knowledge by increasing the value of the whole. With the acquisition of this detail, there is less time spent on the more familiar subjects in life and the old adage of familiar and unfamiliar may have been reversed. This may be so that the expertise is now sought, so that the subject becomes something that can be taught as lectures about this subject in halls of knowledge, such as Universities or specialist groups of interest. They are then familiar with what was once unfamiliar.
A reputation may become awarded to the speaker, who will be recognized for his or her experience. This is unlike in the pulpit of a Sunday Service, where local priests instead of preparing their Sunday deliverance are more likely to choose from a book of pre-written sermons to their dwindling church attendances. Once the passing interest of the preacher has gone, the content of his words becomes less attractive and unfamiliar. Unlike the words of Jesus, who believed so passionately in his subject that huge crowds would accumulate waiting for him to speak. On one occasion the crowd pressed so greatly that he boarded a boat and addressed them from it. We all need to know what is the true worth of what we say. We accordingly show them as an example to others of how to act and behave.
