The more you know, the more you know how much you don’t know. And it’s like the more you know that there’s more out there that you don’t know, you want to know even more. It’s like a never-ending quest for knowledge. It’s like a deceptive feast where with every bite you take you feel a starving sensation growing and growing within you. Yes, the food tastes good for a little while, it’s appealing and provides temporary contentment. But it can’t completely suffice your appetite. It never should. That’s why I can never trust a person who brags on their acquired knowledge as if there isn’t a lifetime more of information to find out, wisdom to seek and people to meet. It’s like man standing in front of a crowd announcing that he is satisfied only with the food in his stomach, but behind him are rows and rows of exotic cuisine from different countries, communities, and cultures. Delicious snacks sprinkled in different spices, ingredients, at different temperatures and with different textures. How foolish would that man seem? How closed-minded and ignorant to the wonders around him would that man appear? In the same sense, you should never get full in your hunger for knowledge. The more you learn, the more there is to be learned. It’s tiresome but a blessing to even have an appetite, because there are millions who don’t even know they’re starving and in desperate need to be fed.
