"It's not important what we choose to be when time of selection comes, but what's important is that how we change ourselves to what is being required for the best of others."

Change will only come when we would admit "we are not born for survival, we are born to help others survive".

If you didn't know all the details, but you only knew a few, then you can be specifically vague meaning you can give all the details including your own ignorance to the topic.
