"All men by nature desire knowledge." - Aristotle

Of course all men desire knowledge, too bad knowledge and wisdom are two completely different things. Wisdom is finally realising that you lack most knowledge. Wisdom is admitting that you know absolutely nothing.

Unfortunately, the people who have the most knowledge are the ones that tend to go furthest in today's world but they tend to be too thick to enjoy it. They expect their rewards rather than truly appreciate them most of the time. Most of them know that they are knowledgeable and therefore they are no wiser than the child who is dependant on his parents. Often, in fact, you will find that these great and knowledgeable men and women rely on someone else who is always behind the curtain.

I will never claim to be either particularly knowledgeable or wise unless in good humour because I know what that one particular claim can lead to, expectations. As I've previously mentioned, these people expect their rewards. Living a life that leads one to be completely cynical about pretty much anything has made me realise that I am a lesbian .. wait, that's not it ... it has made me realise that no expectations equal no disappointments ... yes, that's it. I first heard about this from a television show - hear that? TV did something right for once - and I pondered about how right this really is.

I have never chosen to expect anything but sometimes I tend to mistakenly expect something out of humanity* and find myself let down. I say humanity because expecting material things is just plain dim. I expected that knowledgeable people would be reliable at what they are supposed to do but, it turns out, that they aren't.

In other news:

I finally got a date for my operation about 3 weeks after the professor said I would and it is for 3 weeks or so from now. I will most probably be posting blogs through gritted teeth because that's just the kind of loyal blogger I am.

On that note,
Good Evening the Interwebz.

*Benjamin's feelings got hurt that I mentioned humanity so in order to mend him, let me just say that it is usually people themselves rather than humanity as a whole that are a let down.
