Would you agree that the more we study and the more we learn, we realise ...

Yes. If you compare your knowledge to everything that has be known, you find that you don't even have 1% of the world's knowledge.

You just went and pricked my balloon. Here I thought the more we study and learn the smarter we are. Haha, You comment is the truth though, I was just having some fun.

I've always believed that. Very retarded people don't even know they are missing out on anything. I used to have two sisters who came in and filled out job applications. The one sister was extremely retarded and unashamedly asked for help with her application. The more intelligent of the two wanted to fill out her own, but she'd sit and cry because she couldn't figure out what the questions were or couldn't remember the answers she'd prepared. It was so sad, but she was too proud to want help. Have you ever read the book "Flowers for Algernon"? It's about a retarded guy who has surgery and training to make him become smarter, and what he learns about himself as a result. I loved both the book and the movie which was called Charly.

VERY good point!!!

Yes, I agree with you. When your'e young you think you know it all. Then you suddenly wake up and know that you don't know anything. Sometimes I wonder if life wouldn't be easier if we were all a bit stupid and naive. If you don't know how little you know, you probably don't know much.

I agree with you. With all the studies of all my life I have reached a point now, that I always say to myself "I know nothing". Bye!!! :)

Of course I agree, as we learn the basics of a given subject we rapidly become aware of the fact that there is far more information available, and as we progress the vastness of the subject becomes more obvious. As we all know, the scholars and scientists of today spend their lives studying a narrow band of 1 subject and still leave a great deal for their successors to pursue. This must have been extremely frustrating for such people as Galileo or Copernicus who made great discoveries only to be restricted by the technology of the time which would make further studies and progress very difficult.

yups..i agreed

Hi, I agree with you.

WOW I'm almost afraid to comment on this discussion with all of you. I feel like I'm intruding on a panal of great minds. I do believe as i grow older, i realize how much i don't know. even though I'm extremely opinionated, this fact allows me to keep an open mind when i talk to people with different points of view.
