"Tal vez eso sea suficiente iluminación: saber que no hay un lugar de descanso final para la mente; ningún momento de claridad presumida. Quizás la sabiduría sea darse cuenta de lo pequeño que soy e insensato y cuán lejos me queda por recorrer."
— Anthony Bourdain

Simplified Meaning:
The quote is about understanding that we can never know everything or reach a point where we have all the answers. It's like when you learn to play a musical instrument. At first, you might think that once you master a few songs, you've learned it all. But as you progress, you realize there are so many more techniques and pieces to learn, and even experts are always finding new things to explore. This is similar to enlightenment—the idea is not to achieve complete knowledge but to recognize that learning and growth never truly end. A wise person understands their limitations and stays humble, always open to new experiences and knowledge. By accepting this, we can keep moving forward and remain curious rather than becoming overconfident.
