I will always have gaps in my knowledge and understanding and so it is not a problem for me
My sense of detachment means I have no great desire to know absolutely everything anyway

I think you will find that it is, as far as I am aware, impossible for one human being to know absolutely every thing anyway.

He is absolutely right and so it is important to accept this limitation
But it should never stop us from learning as much as we possibly can

I do not spend all of my free time acquiring knowledge but even if I did there is only so much I could acquire at any one time
So it is not something that could be done instantaneously and there would always be new knowledge that I had yet to acquire
