The more we learn about something and the deeper we get into it we find out that we dont know as much as we thought we knew.In another words the more we know the more we know we dont know as much as we thought we knew.

From every answer to any question spawn more questions.
That should not deter one from getting answers, but each has only 24 hours in a day and should prioritize the answers we seek.

Exactly. The more you know, the more you realize that you don't know. It's a sign of intelligence to acknowledge that you can't know everything. There is always more to learn. People who are arrogant, ignorant & closedminded just think that they know everything & therefore don't do the research & never find out the truth. When your mind is open you can learn so much and in doing so recognize how much more knowledge there is out there. You can never possibly "know everything" no matter how well you research or how much experience you may have.

It is true. Learning more is similar to taking a circular journey around the globe. You come back to the point from where you started. Hindu theology also recognizes the philosophy of a cycle of yugas, wherein a period of creations and one of inaction/destruction/withdrawal of creative forces alternate one another.

Yes, I agree. The more you learn you do expand your knowledge, but you also realize how much more there is to know and you are not there yet, nor you gonna be. So, there is always more and more to learn and your knowledge is never enough.

Well, I can relate this to my current problems in Calculus - I always think I know what I'm doing, and then I get a bad grade because I really didn't know as much as I thought. I suppose you can generalize it as "You can't know what you don't know.", even though it sounds so simplistic.

Ignorance is bliss. Sometimes I feel it's more painful to know the truth and I wish I didn't seek it.
But I know the truth is essential for my greater good.

Ultimatly when we realise that we know nothing at all, we finally know everything that is important to know.
