True Understanding..

Worldly Wisdom
Do not stay in the field!
Nor climb out of sight. 
The best view of the world
Is from a medium height.


What is the field that is mentioned here? The field can be morals. The field can be a cultural beliefs. The field is any idea or belief that an individual or group identifies with. When it is said "Do not stay in the field", the writer is advising us to not forget that there are other views of these fields. That we should step out of the field and attempt to gain an understanding of how other see the same field.
But the writer also warns about completely ignoring the field. The field is easy to ignore when we remove ourself far away from it. The saying, "ignorance is bliss" comes to mind when this phrase is read. Do not become ignorant of the field, but become aware that there is a field and attempt to understand it. But if we are not in the field and not completely out of sight of the field, then where should we be?
We should attempt to be in the center. We should attempt to understand the field from all sides. When we take the time and actually understand the field we get a better understanding of why the field is important. We understand that having a balanced take on the field (issue) we can make better decisions about ourselves and how we affect society. And in the end, we understand how to positively promote humanity and further the welfare of everyone that shares this wonderful world.
