Knowledge follies

Arun - Life is limited and knowledge is unlimited. To use the limited to pursue the unlimited - isn't it foolish?
Me - If you recognise your limitations and still feel the need to know it all - Yes.
If you define the need to know in the context of the limitations - No.
Usable knowledge is enough. Usable knowledge is that which allows the intellect to objectively discriminate thought and emotion, in the quest for equanimity. The start point of objectivity is relevance. In relation to experiences one chooses to define for oneself and, the outcomes envisaged.
The need to know aspects extend to stuff you like to know and is nice to know too. One has to discriminate!!
