It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.
The more you truly learn, the more you realise how little you actually know. Not because knowledge makes you ignorant, but because it expands your awareness of what remains unseen. Every new understanding opens up a larger landscape of unanswered questions. In many ways, that is one of the most beautiful things about being human. Full knowledge is something we can never attain. It keeps you yearning.
This is why genuine learning never feels finished. When you accept that you will never know everything, curiosity stops being a tool and becomes a way of living. That is the most gratifying outcome of intellectual evolution: not answers, but expanding perspective.
- I approach learning with a childlike curiosity, willingly falling into rabbit holes.
- Sometimes, that curiosity turns into hesitation, as if I need to become an expert before I begin.
- This quote reminds me that no one will ever understand everything, and that knowing enough to start is enough.
- Real learning only occurs when you remain open to uncertainty, multiple perspectives, and various paths forward.
Let learning happen in motion.
