THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN IGNORING OUR OWN IGNORANCE

Every serious man who thinks and rationally studies all circumstances and human projects are more and more convinced that his knowledge is just a drop of water in the ocean of his ignorance. With that, this man apprehends the concept of acceptance, acting and becoming more and more complacent, with the “drops” of knowledge of his fellow men and does not even dare to categorically assert: “This is true - that is false.”

St Augustine, this very modern man of the fourth century, said that there is in every truth an error and in every error a truth!

The man who ignores his own ignorance, in general, accept nothing, creates controversies and is almost always categorical in his affirmations and denials, for there is always a close affinity between ignorance and arrogance.
