Inevitability of Ignorance
The urge for knowledge can be irresistible. But knowledge is a
rather unfathomable ocean, in its breadth and its depth. I can find
myself , at times, diving too deep and ignoring the bigger picture, and
at times flying too high to get the real sense of any dimension. It can
seem like an impossible trade-off, with only one certain outcome which
is the inevitability of my ignorance. As important it is for me to learn
consciously with a set direction, it is equally important, if not more,
that I realise and to some level commit to what I cannot learn. This is
by virtue of limitations of my finite term in sheer contrast with the
infinity of sea of knowledge.
“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing” (Socrates 470-399 BC)
