The wisdom that we need is inside us. (4)
HJFinAZ: He that knew all that learning ever writ
Knew only this - that he knew nothing yet.
--Aphra Behn
It's true that the more information we have about the world, the more clearly we see the shape of what we don't know. It's also true that we don't need to learn anything at all in order to deal fairly with others and to walk gently in the world.
The wisdom that we need is inside us. Before our schooling teaches us to forget it, we know instinctively how to treat others because we know how we wish others to treat us, and we know that all people are one.
This primitive knowledge mustn't be buried under the classifications and analysis we pick up along the way. We can, if we try, de-school ourselves to the point where we can listen to our spirits, trust our bodies, and revere the world for the seamless whole it is.
If I cherish my original wisdom, then learning can help me to be comfortable in my ignorance.
Damn,and I used to be soooo smart!Knew only this - that he knew nothing yet.
