He stated that learning had become a load instead of a gift, thus there was no further information. The room went quiet not because everyone agreed but rather because they were uncertain of his exact intention. The notion sounded almost rebellious in a world that glorifies knowing more, striving for more, becoming more.
He was not rejecting knowledge itself. He was exhausted with noise passing off as knowledge. Sick of gathering data that never affected his lifestyle. Books piled tall, infinite viewing of films, advice taken and abandoned. Though it seemed like progress, nothing budged.
His way of drawing a line was no more information. He saw something uncomfortable to him. Thus he reduced everything. Fewer voices, less diversions, less excuses.
Never more about ignorance was knowledge. It was about rejecting to hide behind unending learning. Because there comes a time when growth is more about what you do than it is about what you know.
