the more you learn, the less you know???


The more you learn, the more you know.
The more you know, the more you forget.
The more you forget, the less you know.
So why STUDY?

You know, I seem to only remember things that I deem are necessary. For example, at work we have an employee phone number directory and I just happend to glance at this one girl's number once and I can remember it like it was my own. And names. I can probably recite every one of my teacher's names from Kindergarten to this past semester. I'm actually the reverse of most people. I remember names a lot better than I can recognize faces.

Killerinstinct,

You have misinterpreted the saying, "The more you learn, the less you know." It doesn't mean the more you learn the more you forget. It means the more you learn, the more you realize how little you know. It takes a certain amount of learning to realize how ignorant you are.

bliss.. it truly is....


Think about it.. wouldn't you live a happy life being ignorant...

If you're ignorant you don’t have to worry about many of the horrible things going on everywhere...
If you were completely ignorant you could probably be happy because you would be satisfied with what you have and what the world gives you....

thats why some people who might have less of everything... may be living a better life.. even than a very rich or smart person who has to be worrying about all this things going on....


and of course. it all depends how you define ignorance...
