Ignorant Genius



The most knowledgeable person is not the one who presumes that he has learnt a lot, but the one who knows that a lot is to be learnt. Knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance if knowledge stops any further growth of itself. Ignorance is good because it tells you that you don't know & also that you can know if you make a little effort. Another problem people confront is that they presume gaining knowledge is good only up to a certain age. This thought comes from a myth that knowledge is good only if it is used to gain something. Since we stop nursing any ambition of earning name, fame or money after a certain age, we stop learning as well. The truth is that knowledge should be gained only to contribute and that can be done at any age.
