Limitations

There isn't much that I know,
You should question someone else,
Someone who knows quite a lot
Where doubt's touch has not been felt

Socrates thought of himself as the wisest ever, because he knew two things: 1) that no one knew what they think they know, and 2) he was the only one that knew that all men know nothing. Inspiring write, Peace and Love

How well you capture the pangs of angst created by doubt, Jim! Those who think they "know quite a lot" often don't. Your words are a brilliant exercise on lost self-esteem. (Don't let the know-it-alls get to you.) Love, Carolyn
