Experience

In everything I have seen, thought about, felt, and learned since being here in Europe, I have only truly learned one thing. That I know nothing, and that it is impossible to truly know.

I'm just finally ok with that.











Life is beautiful.

All that one can truly know is that they know nothing.


A little paradoxical yes, but I'm not about to argue with Socrates!

I thought he was supposed to be logical? Not paradoxical.

You're post makes no sense.

Niall said...

It does make sense actually.

YOUR grammar is what doesn't make sense.



If you read Socrates, his main point about knowledge and wisdom is that he knows the most is he who knows the least. If you've got an issue, take it up with him.

Hahahaha, your not you're. DOH

I wasn't trying to call you stupid or anything. It just doesn't make sense.

You can't know something if you know nothing. Likewise, if it is impossible to know, then you can't know that it is impossible to know.

Lol

Don't worry, I knew you didn't mean to offend.

I know that the relationship of knowledge to lack thereof is paradoxical. It cannot be expressed by language. It's impossible.

To fully explain, I would have to break out my philosophy texts... and since I'm on my break, I'm not at liberty to do so.

Lol.

Love you Paddy. :)
