These questions keeps burthering my mind always when ever I remember it and I would love to share it here to get the different views from different mindsets:

Is it better to have knowledge on the inside of you such that when you open your mouth and speak, knowledge will pour fourth or is it better to be empty like a vaccume such that when it is time to speak, the knowledge will just pour out of you by itself?

    In other words

Is it better to be a container such that anyone who wants to drink water will have to go the tap and use you to drink water or to be a funnel such that you will just be there and when to tap is open, you can be used to drill the water directly into the lungs of those who are thirsty?

Remember a funnel is always empty, and it doesn't holds anything within it, yet, it conserve a great function to serve others, so in that way, a funnel is providing a selfless service but a container can be full and can also serve as a reservour which contains water water such that those who are unable to get to the river can get water in it and quench their thirst.

Which one is better, to depend absolutely on inspiration such that when you open your mouth, inspiration will flow directly out of you or to have knowledge from the inside of you such that when a question is asked, you can provide the answer from the abundance of the knowledge within you?

We are unique and and blest with different gifts and talents, your gifts and talents was given to you for a reason, and unless you discover the purpose of your talents and existence, you are bound to abuse it, no gifts nor talents was given given without a purpose, every good gifts comes from above and they have their respective purposes and known of these purposes are for evil but for a good aim because it came from a good source (GOD).

Your present attitudes, behaviors, gifts and talents has a reason and they are all to the sole aim of adding positive value to the world and to live a good and happy lifestyle.

No attitudes, gifts and talents is evil unless you make it one because they all came from a sacred source, are you selfish in nature or selfless? it is for a specific purpose, and unless you see beyond the physical and seek for the purpose behind it, you can never understand why you are doing what you are doing and why you are selfish in nature because life goes beyond the physical.

This is no longer the time to ask which one is better but the time to become both the container and the funnel for the ultimate purpose of attaining a good aim, this is the time to think outside the box and be yourself and do the best you can do effectively for the sake of good.

Are you a selfish type?
Don't blame yourself Dear, but direct your selfishness towards attaining a good aim that will benefit everyone.

Evil is not evil unless you name it evil, everything are working together for the good of everyone, so seek to know the purpose of your attitudes, gifts and talents.

I know you still have your own views about the question; WHICH ONE IS BETTER: To be a funnel or container?

Well, perhaps the answer is fullness for which both funnel and container dance a tango. Right..?

ABSOLUTELY, THANKS FOR STOPPING BY

If I am a funnel, opportunities will pass through my desk(I mean I will contribute to it) and straight to someone else's. Nothing for myself, nothing reserved for me to give out.

I will rather be a container but not the selfish type, I will always give from everything that comes to me.

That is my own view of your topic.

yea I get you, but do you know that it is only those who has more that can give more?

the funnel has in abundance that is why he can give more.

secondly, a container can't give out more because when it is filled up they is no other place to get more

lols

Hmmmm.....
I will prefer to be a container.....cause i believe that you can't give what you don't have......depending on inspiration might disappoint sometimes.....cause when it doesn't come, you become useless......
So I will prefer to posses knowledge so that when I speak, i know that I am giving out what I possess...
Followed you @ mike4christ

THANK YOU DEAR.

but take a look at this, A container has little because when it gets to the brime, it can't receive more since it is selfish(not giving out) but a funnel has more everytime because it has more space to receive more and give more.

as for the second aspect of your comment, it's better you become the two, never stop learning and never cease to getmore inspirations.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY

I think it better to be selfless than to be selfish
