Knowledge And Self-Knowledge

KNOWLEDGE AND SELF-KNOWLEDGE I know so much And its really so little And so much of what I know Is not really knowledge Half- knowledge and speculation And outmoded information- The world provides masses of material for learning each day Even the smallest fraction of it I do not know- Once I would have felt it as a failure My own massive ignorance Now it is just what it necessarily is - I know some things probably Or at least I think I do And all that I do not know Does not need me to know it In order for it to be learned by others- I once thought I knew a lot I now know I know very little And will never know much- However, I still am eager to learn And want to know more Even about myself- And so- writing these lines now May not be as useless as it may seem Because I just learned something more about myself That I really did not know before-
