What Do you think? 

What Do Ya Know

I was reading the Apology by Plato and one thing in particular really stood out to me. An oracle consulted the gods and Socrates was said to be the wisest man in all the world. Of course Socrates was like, yea right I definitely am not. To prove it he went out and squared up with some of the most wisest people in Athens. To his unbelief he found that he was indeed the wisest man.

Upon examination he found that what set himself apart from these wise giants was his ability to know what he doesn't know. Not meaning knowing everything but being aware of that in which he doesn't know. He didn't pretend to know everything like the alleged wise men did.   

I know that I like to know things. Truth be told I would like to know everything. I have gone to the extent of lying to make it seem as though I do. The deal is, it is not a sign of weakness to not know everything. In fact knowing what we don't know will set us up to be more knowledgeable than most.
