The world is covered with oceans
of knowledge and of course water!!
many learned men have come and gone
but have they really learned it all?
i don't think so
humans are advancing
upgrading,updating,inventing
but did they invent flying cars?
teleporters,talking mirrors?
NO
we still have a lot to learn
and in the ocean of knowledge
a whole lifetime's work
is just a drop in the ocean
nobody can learn everything
not in a 100 lifetimes
because there is no end
it's not like a book
if it had an ending
it'd be finished by billions of people
but in order to gain all the knowledge
we humans might have to stop progressing
and in this fast life
if we stop
we might come to a halt permanently
we want to know everything
sometimes we need to know everything
and at times we have to know everything
but you gotta face the truth
accept the facts
and stop trying so hard
because no matter what
we can't learn it all
