I am amazed every day at how much there is to learn about the world
around us. I think I am beginning to understand why the brilliant Albert
Einstein once said, " The more I learn, the more I realize I don't
know." as I continue to expand my knowledge through study and
experience my eyes are opened even more to all the thing that I didn't
know that I could know. So does this idea substantiate the saying that
ignorance is bliss? In a way I would say that it does. But, I also
have to say that I am very glad that I have learned the things I have
and I hope to continue to learn the things that I am going to need to
know. This bring me to another quote that is a favorite of mine by
Daniel J. Boorstin. Daniel Boorstin said, "The greatest obstacle to
discovery is no ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge." when we
think that we know something and become unteachable we are doomed to
being stuck with our limited and possibly incorrect or incomplete
knowledge.
