Worth Noting:

  • It is important to know that as human beings we cannot contain the rain from falling all we can do is to prepare to benefit from its presence at the same time take measures to mitigate any negative effects that are associated with it.
  • There are cases which have undesirable effects hence once detected we try to contain them or alert people to keep off so that they are not affected by them for example an outbreak of a disease people are informed about it, how it is affecting people and animals as well as its control measures to ensure that as minimal number of people as possible is affected by the disease.

To know a thing does not always enable us to prevent it, but at least the things we know we do hold, if not in our hands, at any rate in our minds, where we can dispose of them as we choose, and this gives us the illusion of a sort of power over them. ………… Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way.

Every human being is always happy to acquire knowledge in fact the one who knows most of the things is appreciated by the rest who go ahead and wish to learn from him.

However no human being can claim to know everything we just know a small portion of the information that exists.

There are issues when we know them in advance but we can manipulate their effects if favourable encourage more of them or make many people to benefit from them for example meteorologists prediction of rain or signs of onset of rainfall can be used to inform farmers to prepare for the rainy season.

Studying a certain family you will see the pattern taken by majority of its members and predict the path likely to be followed by their young ones.

You can try to train them so as for them not to have some habits but the traits being in family line it is difficult to control for example if they have a habit of stealing you can encourage someone to join investigative departments and be dealing with criminals as he will likely associate with crime only that he should be in the side that will be favourable to the society.

If someone loves you no matter how much you ignore him all you should do is appreciating his efforts treat him like your fan. Ignoring him will not stop him from admiring you probably you are his role model. Try to be good to him, this will promote your virtues as he will replicate what he see you do if you are his role model. As it happens to any public figure it is hard for them to know who knows them and admires them they just know they have huge fan base.

A mother knows who fathered her baby if they never married or divorced making the kid not to live with the father the mother expects that at some time the kid will ask about his biological father unless he lies to him or fails to answer him no way she will successfully claim that he does not have a father. It is a tall order for her to disclose the dad to his kid otherwise relatives and friends who know who he is are likely to inform him who the dad is with or without letting his mum know that they have done so.

Once the kids becomes of age the kid’s dad may search for him and make him know about his parentage.
