Famous scientist Richard Feynman once said, " More you know, you realize how little you know." It is the flame of knowledge that illuminates the path. The knowledge fuels the flame, and the brighter the flame glows more we see and we realize how much more there is to know. It is a positive feedback loop; the more we fuel it, the brighter it glows, and the more we realize how much there is to see.
Little kids tell you, " You don't know anything, Grandma; I know everything." But, as they grow up and start thinking and asking questions, we all realize there are more questions than answers. The question is, "How much do we want to know?" and the deep question is," How much can our brains understand"? We have evolved to look up at the universe and ask questions, but the more we see ( using our technology and brains) more intriguing the universe gets. It is a fast ocean of knowledge; while we know its vastness, we can only stand at the shore counting pebbles.
As a young engineer, I could never understand how some people have difficulty comprehending simple concepts. But now I know that our brains and our programming are so unique that trying to judge anyone is a futile exercise. Right and Wrong is a grey scale not just black and white.
