"I know nothing" - Last couple of years in my life, I saw many people uttering these words. I always wonder - how can people know NOTHING. NOTHING is infinite. Infinite is everything. Do they mean they know everything ? If that is the case, then how can they be normal humans ??? There could only be 3 possibilities - either the language is wrong or the grammer is wrong or the person himself uttering these words doesnt know what is he speaking.
I say NOTHING is everything. There is a duality existing in this world. Light and Dark, Positive and Negative, Black and White, Heaven and Hell, Good and Evil, God and Demon. Similarly, EVERYTHING and NOTHING. One cannot exist without the other. If you know the value of one entity, the value of other entity is always known and appreciated.
A person who is there in a coal mine, will always appreciate the value of Sun and day and light. Since, he is always in the dark most of his time, and doesnt see the light, he knows the value of light. But at the same time, he is used to dark and so he knows how to move, do things quickly, how to work in the dark, more than a person who is in the light. Not that he is hating light, but due to lack of light, his work become so routine that he tends to think that light is more precious than life.
Same is the case with life. Only if one can go through the rough phases of life and work hard, will appreciate the joy, will appreciate the minutes of rest he takes, will value the money he gets for his work. He will spend that joy, that time, that money with so much care that he wont try to loose it at any cost. He looks after them as his life. He never tries to loose them.
I want to write this point and highlight the fact that we need to work hard to appreciate it. When we never try anything and just thinking that it would be hard to do that particular work, we can never appreciate the work.
