I do. I consider myself ignorant. Not that I am not literate or educated. But ignorant in a sense that I do not know everything. One philosopher once said, The first step towards wisdom is to accept that at times we can be ignorant. Yes, I believe in him. We can never really gain wisdom if we think we know everything. In ignorance, we gain more insight because we tend to ask and explore and wonder. Then, we experiment. Telling ourselves that we are ignorant, is a form of challenging as well ourselves too to know more, to delve deeper and try to answer the mysteries of this world. We should not let ourselves be stuck to just one dimension in life. A wise man considers learning as continuous and must not stop so long as we live.

Yes, We are allignorant about most things. We all have things we are expert in, andy lots of things we have some knowledge of. The rest we are ignorant in. I was having an arguement with a good frien of min, a priest a very educated man but knew so little about the topic we were discussing. I finally said oh, you are so ignorant on this. I cant explain his reaction. You would have thought I called him the stupidest person on earth. I quickly explained we are all ignorant on some things. He accepted that but I dont think liked it
