Can you imagine what it would be like, or feel like, if your mind could perceive everything there is to know in an all-encompassing reality? I have had many a self-induced headache from trying to do just that. It's mind-boggling, at the least, that if history tells us any one thing, it's that more than half of what we believe to be "truths" today will be proven wrong in the following hundreds of years.
Plus, out of everything there is to know in our world today, whose "right" is it to say what knowledge is most important to retain and pass on, and what isn't? I have an inkling that many people get too caught up with remembering, memorizing, and dwelling on information that in the "grand scheme" of things really is useless.
This reminds me of this humbling documentary that I highly recommend to everyone and anyone: "What The Bleep Do We Know?"
