How far can I live in ignorance ?

I know, far more clearly today than ever, that I don't know ! Perhaps, nobody knows and it surprises me why they don't know that they really don't know ! We all act as we know everything that we are doing and saying. I've seen many experts pretending to be so sure of what they say and do while I can clearly see that they do not really know what they are saying and what they are doing.  I've detested them and don't wish to turn into one.

I realize I do not know much about children, education, rights, wrong, way of life, environment, politics, society, actions, religion, meditation ! All my knowledge is partial, almost bordering on ignorance.
Secondly, I realize that any action arising out of confusion, partial knowledge or the illusion of it will eventually only be destructive. I feel that's what is happening to our world today. Lot of well intensioned people doing their work thinking they are doing it right and good to the world and still our world is worst of in the entire history of mankind.  I think unless we have the bigger picture and understanding of the very basic laws of life, whatever we do cannot be an act of goodness.

I feel fed up of my ignorance. I want to know more but don't know how. Don't even know if its really possible to get the clarity that I am striving for. But one thing is certain, knowing that my ignorance cannot really be help to the world, to anybody else including me has made me realize the urgent need to know more.

I ask myself what is my true knowledge something that I have found myself ! I go Blank ! All my life is second hand. I want to find something that original, something that truly my own discovery.

The world has turned into second hand, I find my heart longing to hear one - just one original statement. Something fresh. Something thats not dead.

Lets see how the journey unfolds with this new realization.
