As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and more mysterious.

Ignorance is bliss! The less we know, the more content we are; the more we find out, the more disappointed we are at how little our knowledge is. This universe is like an ocean of knowledge, information and facts. When we gather little drops of knowledge, we are overwhelmed by the vastness and diversity of this mesmerising ocean.
The old aged believe everything, the middle aged doubt everything, the young know everything. This maxim aptly describes the journey one undertakes in life pertaining to acquisition of knowledge. When we know little, our mind is free from doubt. As one progresses in this journey called ‘life’, he finds out that the bigger picture is actually ‘larger than life’.
When I was in grade 7, I first studied the Newton’s laws of motion. They were taught in away that was easy to comprehend and remember. As I reached higher grades, I learnt the same laws in much more complex ways than I had learnt before. The same laws could be expressed in a further detailed manner when I was pursuing engineering. I then realised that as I climbed up the hierarchy of the educational system, there was detailing involved in whatever I studied.
Such complexity is not only limited to the subjects one studies at school or college, but also to the other aspects of life. Taking the case of human behaviour, it is an established fact that every individual is unique and that declaring statements about human behaviour would not be relevant to every individual. Studying human psychology in depth ultimately leads us to the conclusion that it is next to impossible to predict an individual’s behaviour, no matter how much study one puts into the subject.
Thus, in the short span of time I have spent on this earth, I have come to realise that imagination is more important than knowledge since greater the imagination, more is the zeal to transform it into reality. What is already present in this world can be easily found out, and more often than not, the more we find out about something, the lesser is the clarity of the concept in our mind. To reach one’s maximum potential, discovery of the unknown depths of wisdom is required.
