Everyone is Ignorant, Just on Different Topics

     Everyone knows that somebody who, because they know a lot about something, think they know a little (or a lot) about everything. Well you and I know better. Everybody is ignorant, just on different topics.  While the inner city kid may know nothing about wall street investments (apparently neither does Wall Street), the tycoon is usually ignorant of how to survive the streets. Is knowledge in some topics better than another? All knowledge is helpful, but obviously some is more beneficial than other. 
     Here is the point. Stop the next time you think you know everything about everything. For every topic you know something about there are many more you do not. Appreciate all knowledge and what it took to gain it and realize no one knows it all. Knowledge and wisdom are two different things. Think about that.
