"もしかしたらこれが十分な悟りかもしれません。心の最終的な安らぎの場所がないこと、自己満足の瞬間がないことを知ることが。おそらく、智慧とは自分がどれほど小さいか、賢くないか、そしてどれほど遠くまで行かなければならないかを理解することです。"
— 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.
