If there is nothing to learn, what is the point of living?

Dear Merjeo,

It feels like there's so much information out there, and I could never possibly absorb enough of it. Sometimes it's overwhelming knowing that even if I remained 100% dedicated to learning from this day forward I could never know even a fraction of all of the things I want to know or master even a few of the skills that I'm interested in. It makes me feel like I know absolutely nothing and it seems like such a climb to get where I want to be. It sounds kind of silly, I know, but I just wanted to know if you could relate.

learn, what we know

Dear Overwhelmed,

Perhaps I can get you a little less overwhelmed.

I realized something a few years ago. "There's more that we don't know than there is that we know." This applies to every bodoy. Once you realized this and accept it, you'll have peace of mind. If you know everything, what's the point of living?

Learning new things is the most exciting thing about being alive. Hell, Man! You sure don't want to die! Keep learning, and don't flake out on me, Man!
