What Does it Mean to know Something

To know something is something that you are familiar with. You get this through experience. You can’t just know something out of nowhere just because somebody told you. Then you are just copying their answer; however you don’t really know that thing that they are talking about. To know something has to deal with the experiences you had with the particular subject. When you know something, you are able to give a proven truth about the subject or object that has been put into the category of concern.

For Example, a man is getting ready to ride a motorcycle for the first time. His friend tells him about all the things he can do on the motorcycle, and how much fun it is. However, the man doesn’t agree with his friend all the way yet because he has never experienced being on a motorcycle ever in his life. That is until the day he gets on the motorcycle for the first time. Once he gets on he likes it and has a thrill. He ends up riding for more the two hours. He now has the experience to give proven facts about the ride on the motorcycle. Now he knows about the motorcycle.

So, in order to be able to know something, and give facts about something, you have to get your own experience from it first. You can’t just take what somebody else says and have that as the correct answer. Experience in something is always the correct answer.
