Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance-Confucius

This is why I believe in always being open to new knowledge all the time. So, you have what you have experienced so far and what you have known and this is added to by whatever you learn that day, that week, that year.

So, knowledge is not finite but unlimited and so we must be unlimited in our capacity for taking on new knowledge or else we will all go extinct through global Climate change.

I think Descartes philosophy saying is appropriate here now:

"There is nothing so good that no bad might come of it

and nothing so bad that no good might come of it."

This is a very wise saying and matches my experiences of the past 75 years of being alive.

So, then wisdom is likely being prepared for anything in life as it arises because the unknown is ever present in our lives in many ways. So, the more we know the more likely we and our children and grandchildren will survive whatever comes.

By God's Grace
