sounds contradictory and confusing to me!.!.!. can some1 help me interpret it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The more you know, the more you realize that you have much more to learn!. The more I live the more I learn!. The more I learn the more I realize the less I know!. The wise men seem to be forever saying they know nothing, while a fool will tell you he knows it all!.So who do you listen to!? the fool who is often wrong, or the wise man who tells you to find the answer for yourself!?Www@QuestionHome@Com The furthest you've ever been from the truth is when you think you know it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com knowledge is not static and therefore the more you know, the less you know!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It's sort of like admitting your limitations, admitting that you don't know everything!. To me, the quote both expresses humility and ambition at the same time, humility because it acknowledges your faults and ambition because acknowledging your faults and limitations is the first step in overcoming them!. You wont learn anything if you go around thinking you already know everything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It's saying that humans will never know about how the universe works!.Www@QuestionHome@Com it means that the only thing you understand in life is that it's confusing and that you'll never really know about itWww@QuestionHome@Com The moment that you think that you know something you close your mind to any other possibility!. Better to keep an open mind and just stay open to new possibilities!. It is better to assume that anything that you think that you know may be wrong!. Love and blessings DonWww@QuestionHome@Com The circle of man's knowledge is that it spirals upward and with no end in sight!. I think that's fantastic and at the same time exhausting!.

Later!.Www@QuestionHome@Com sometimes in life, we think that we've got everything figured out and that we know all the answers to a majority of things!. but it takes time to realize that we only know a bit of information!. therefore its disappointing!. so all we know, is that we know nothing!. we don't know everything in this world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
