Searching for Answers


I know they are out there--all the answers.  I keep searching and searching  but I am constantly amazed at how much I don't know.  Then one day I read The Walk by Richard Paul Evans.  It didn't have all the answers, but it had the answer.

A homeless man inquires:  In school, the teacher had the teacher book--the one that all the answers in it.  Why don't they just give the teacher book to the students?  Then they'd have all the answers.  Isn't that why they go to school?

The traveler responds:

You know, everywhere I go, I...keep looking for the teacher book.  I found it once you know.  I found it and started to read it, then I passed out before I could get all the answers.  I was on the ground, unconscious.  It was too much to know. 

Sigh....

How does that old saying go--the more you learn the more you don't know? Well, however it goes, it's true.

So then would it be true... the less you learn, the less you don't know???
I think I will stay in my stupid place... I am happier there.
