Good afternoon all, here is the next poem from Grooks...enjoy!

Title: Omniscience

Knowing what
thou knowest not
is in a sense
omniscience.

Short and sweet, just like many of Piet Hein's poems are.

To me, this poem is talking about something similar to Socratic Ignorance...the awareness of one's own absence of knowledge. Being aware of something you don't know allows one the ability to learn and increase their knowledge base, which is the goal after all.

Agree? Disagree? Comment below and give me your interpretation!

See you all tomorrow!
