Today, these 2 issues hit upon me.

Intelligence versus Wisdom

The former is easy to acquire, many people have it. What about the latter? As students who constantly pursue knowledge and incessantly expand our intellectual capacity to learn new things, have we got the depth of character to back it all up? Having your own values, principles and personal convictions is not as easy as it seems. It is more than knowing what is right and what is wrong. It is more than having opinions. It is about having your own stand and being unshakened even in adversity. It is about choices you make and the reason for doing so. It is invoking feelings and emotions into knowledge.

Infinite knowledge

"The more knowledge you gain, the more you realise you don't know." I think it was Socrates who said that, though i can't really be sure. Nonetheless, I found it very true. The thing is, is one aware of his/her own ignorance? Nothing wrong being ignorant because no one can ever acquire all the knowledge within, not less outside the world. Being aware of your own ignorance is humbling, and it makes one see a much larger world. Yet there is always a fine line between mere awareness and acting on it. How many people would actually be disturbed enough by their ignorance to do something? In fact, in asking rhetorical questions, how effective is it really? Has enough thought been assigned to these supposedly "thought-provoking" questions to deem them worthy? (Irony intended, if u know what i meant)

Thinking beyond one's limit really wears out the brain...
