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.
An inquisitive mind is the storehouse of knowledge. It gathers knowledge on varied subjects from different sources. But, many a time even such minds fall prey to hoarding. Owner of such minds do so because they want to flaunt knowledge & whenever they get chance they go to any extent to prove that they are knowledgeable. They are the ignorant souls as they don't know that the knowledge they are hoarding is a sham; it is of no use to themselves & to the world. It only spreads jealousy, hatred & ignorance. On the contrary, a person who has little knowledge & imparts this knowledge with his fellow human being, he gains wisdom.
