Knowing

Claiming knowledge is perhaps one of man's greatest folies. One that is close to impossible for him to escape from. What is intelligence without knowledge? As the most intelligent creations of God, man has to be most knowledgable right?

Most knowledgable perhaps;But still our knowledge is but fragments of the greater truth. Fragments that can change and grow obsolete over time. What's learnt needs to be unlearnt and relearned depending on the times and situations. Still the incomplete status of our comprehension is an undeniable cold hard truth.

This is the reason why alchemists and philosophers alike toil day and night in search of knowledge. Because knowing is a bottomless well that begs to be dug deeper still. For what purpose?

Man's huge appetite for a purpose and wisdom is never appeased. There is always a gap in his understanding no matter how vast his bank of knowledge really is. And only the fool would ignore that fact.

The flaws that permeates man's understanding of the universe are invisible. What he knows is but a reflection of reality. A reflection warped by his own limited understanding; His limited degree of observation.

More appealing than knowledge itself is the feeling of knowledge - Anonymous

How can we claim to know much when what we've learnt is close to nothing?
