Knowing Nothing

It’s strange isn’t it, that as youngsters, we know everything but then somehow, the older we get, all that knowledge just disappears!

Perhaps age brings with it a certain kind of wisdom and as Socrates, the Greek philosopher, said way back in the 5th century BC, the “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing”.

On the same subject another great thinker, Albert Einstein, once said “Any fool can know. The point is to understand”.

Funny that neither of those great men became politicians!
