I can relate to all you've put down here because at times when I'm in class and someone sets aside his or her pride and decides to ask the lecturer a question, some people think that the person is the most foolish and doesn't know anything not knowing that the person is gaining more knowledge. Really interesting point.
I believe we all have to seek first in order to understand otherwise, we will all just be making the world more complex with lots of chatters that bears no good results.
Stay Awesome!
Yeah, that's absolutely true
