"Much learning does not teach understanding."
Heraclitus
5th century BC Greek philosopher
I've met many individuals whose education is diametrically opposed to their apparent intelligence.
Unfortunately a reality that has, on occasion, applied to me as well.
How about you?
Related to this, how many of us ever recognize when we are wrong, even to ourselves? I've done so more often as I get older but almost never when younger.
ReplyDeleteI now what you mean. I do so as well, partly because I know I should and partly because my ego no longer requires me to act as though I was always right.
