Learning
Throwing your ego into the sea and watching it drown in the vastness of what
you don’t know.
Knowledge
Admitting you have the ego to drown and that the sea of vastness is there
Wisdom
Showing someone else how to do it.
-W.E.
Humility is what will commence the journey.
It will set you on fire in your love of learning, knowledge and wisdom.
A great scholar said, ‘The more I learned, the more ignorant I became’. Think about the context of this magnificent quote. Think about who said it and it’s weight.
He wasn’t ignorant by any means but this is an expression of humility and defeat. Admittance he’s a speck of nothing despite of who the public thought he was, in the vast ocean of knowledge that existed and opened up to him the more he learned.
