To discover that knowledge itself is infinite, it is not that the more you learn the more ignorant you become; quite the contraire, one must always search new ways to learn and seek for new ideas waiting to be discovered. Once this is discovered, the voyage throughout this knowledge will keep a person searching for new thoughts, to progress, all this in order to combat ignorance. However, this will not expose itself automatically to a person, one must attempt to reach them, and all the processes involved in this path keeps a person busy, learning, ergo avoiding ignorance.

Ignorance is the state of not knowing something. Ignorance is common. Its unavoidable and in a complex society its increasingly difficult to not be ignorant.
Imagine the early hominids. You gotta know what plants and critters are good to eat etc. Get a grasp on the weather,hunting basic cultivating and yaaa you got it under control.
What the aphorism is stating is that you are actually getting wise enough to recognize how little you know.

Shakespeare expressed a similar sentiment: "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."* Most would answer that the cure for ignorance is knowledge, but the real cure is wisdom.

The more you learn the more you come to realize how little you actually know. The only cure is to continue to learn.

It is education from living and learning from your mistakes,and from being able to take the advice from those who have lived longer than you, with enough insight to learn from it. It is wanting to learn, the burning desire to keep your head out of the sand.
Lifes experiencs is wisdom that is aged, with knowldge that must be given to those who ask for it, when called upon to do so.

We are all ignorant. It is a no "win" situation. No one has all the knowledge of all the books of all the libraries of this planet past and present. Ignorance and intelligence are just labels that we use to satisfy our emotions.

One of the best ways to cure ignorance is to put down your book of holy scriptures and learn something factual for a change...
