Like stories of old, this is the oldest (earliest) lesson one can learn and still the one people consciously will deny until their unconsciousness convinces them otherwise. Liken to all animals, plants and bacteria (microbacteria) of oure World, we just cannot stop learning and indeed we all Dialectically ascend even when we think we know it all. We shall learn in the naïveté of Childhood know-it-all phase, if kids act like that; and we shall learn especially when that naïveté doesn’t die when we enter into “adult-hood” where apparently the mature and maturity exist in this stage of life. For in those stages of sudden metaphysical whimsicalities (which this phrasing here is done on purpose to make fun of them), our sophistry is going to be tested by even the mere existence of someone foreign to oure supposed unchanging life that we thought we figured it all out.

Yet like a spin of tales, in those stories of old, dost those naïve kids and adult “know-it-alls” get their fine taste in life and come to appreciate that they can still learn. To truly be humble whence one has stumbled through the many developments of life is to not then claim to know all, for they shall be more once yah die. But to repeat the Great Socrates and say “the only thing I do know is that I know nothing” (despite the obvious contradiction that he knew that and knew quite a many things when debating his contemporary “popular” philosophers at his time. (On the idea of popular philosophers, look into France post-WWII where this idea of philosophy having such popular support had lasted a long time with figures like Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauviour.)

In any a case: congratulations for the @curie upvote, keep on writing, keep on learning and happy steeming!
