It seems learning is realizing the particulars of what I already know. For once I got a breadth of what the universe consists of, learning about it got a glassy quality. What is "the particulars"? What differentiates them from the general concept? The particulars are forgotten in short term memory, but while understanding them, they give a sense of truth as if the concepts themselves were a lie. Rather, the concepts were for children and the particulars for adults. Yes, who will become an adult in mathematics? "I don't want to grow up," my essence affirms. For I know that once I grow up, I can no longer act as a child. "I want to grow up," my reason delineates. For a child cannot truly help understand its unknown areas. My child reasons: "but I can imagine a way to do it!" What would a child be if not hopeful?
I read: it's not just about having the facet of knowledge but when to use them. Thus, children reason in a world that hasn't gone down the rabbit hole. Adults reason already in wonderland. I must view the wisdom of adults as sheer madness, while the knowledge of the child as mere anger, instead of the other way around. Maybe I don't want to lose my reckless quality of knowledge - somehow I can cheat the system! Probably the rebel never dies. Maybe that's what I hope the most. I shouldn't see my knowledge being able to undercut wisdom, nor wisdom devoid of mystery.
