Knowledge is magic
Translated by Mara
By reducing the store of knowledge, we actually take away one of man’s greatest pleasures. Anyone who is more proficient in anything than average can confirm that this knowledge is a great a source of joy. A carpenter is just as happy to distinguish a pine plank from an oak plank as an angler when he knows how to throw the fishing rod if he wants to catch a zander, the mushroom hunter when he confidently recognizes an Aniseed Funnel at first sight without any books, or a literary scolar, when he immediately understands the subtle allusions or intertextuality of a novel.
This is the charm of the moment. The magic of those moments that will give a long line of moments that will ultimately give the wholeness of our life journey, and perhaps also its meaning.
