Simplified Meaning:

When we learn more about the world, we start to realize just how much we still don't understand. Imagine a scientist studying the ocean. First, they might think they know a lot about it, but as they dig deeper, they discover more mysteries and questions that need answers. This is true for everyone - the more we learn in school or through life experiences, the clearer it becomes that there is still so much more out there to learn. For example, when someone first learns to cook, they might think they know a lot after mastering a few recipes. But as they continue practicing and exploring new dishes, they become aware of a whole range of techniques, ingredients, and cultural cuisines they didn’t know about before. This endless learning process can make them feel more humble and curious. In our everyday lives, keeping this idea in mind can encourage us to stay open-minded and continuously seek knowledge. It reminds us not to get overconfident with what we already know and to understand that learning is a lifelong journey. By accepting that there's always more to discover, we can grow wiser and more knowledgeable.
