One who knows and knows that he knows… His horse of wisdom will reach the skies. One who knows, but doesn’t know that he knows… He is fast asleep, so you should wake him up! One who doesn’t know, but knows that he doesn’t know… His limping mule will eventually get him home. One who doesn’t know and doesn’t know that he doesn’t know… He will be eternally lost in his hopeless oblivion! .Anonymous
About This Quote
The more we know, the more we learn. The more we learn, the more we think. The more we think, the more we learn. Comparing our knowledge and thinking to a horse is like comparing a mule to a horse.
The mule is stubborn and slow while the horse is quick and agile. Adding to that, thinking of someone who knows and knows that he doesn't know is like comparing a limping mule to a horse of wisdom. Do you see why? Now, someone who doesn't know and doesn't know that he doesn't know is like comparing a mule of wisdom to a limping mule.
What does that tell you about the person who doesn't know and doesn't know that he doesn't know? It says that he will be eternally lost in his hopeless oblivion.
