Lao Tzu said, "The further one goes, the less one knows." One of the translations to Russian also says it like “The more you wander, the less you know.” This phrase is as close to our philosophy with my wife, as it is rich in various meanings.
Wandering, discovering this world, you seem to learn more and more new things. And at the same time, you begin to understand more and more clearly how little you really know.
And after that, after wandering and understanding that you know nothing, you less and less strive to prove something to someone.
And also “the less you know” can be attributed not only to the process of gradual realization of the insignificance of your knowledge. But also to the fact that you still know something, but you know that little that is really worth knowing.
