“The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing”
— Voltaire
Simplified Meaning:
When someone says that the more they read and learn, the more they realize how little they actually know, they are talking about how gaining knowledge makes them aware of their own limitations. Imagine a scientist studying the universe. At first, she might think she understands how everything works. But as she reads more books and does more experiments, she uncovers new and complex questions she hadn't even thought about before. This makes her realize that there's still so much she doesn't know. By learning more, we understand just how large the world of knowledge is, and it shows us that our understanding is just a tiny part of it. People can use this idea to stay humble and open-minded, always ready to learn more and never assuming they know everything. This approach helps us grow because we're always curious and looking to understand new things.
