“The further one goes, the less one knows”
— Laozi
Simplified Meaning:
When we first start learning about something new, it feels like we’re making a lot of progress and gaining a lot of knowledge quickly. But as we go deeper, we start realizing just how much we still don’t understand and how big the subject really is. For example, if you start learning about space, at first you'll pick up basic facts, like planets and stars. But the more you study, the more you'll discover how much complexity there is, such as black holes, dark matter, and the vast distances involved. This can make you feel like there’s always more to learn no matter how much you know. This idea teaches us humility and reminds us not to assume we know everything. In our daily lives, this means staying curious, always being open to learning, and understanding that seeking knowledge is a lifelong journey.
