Why is that the more wise we become...?

Question

the less wise we become?

Answer 1

I believe it's more like, the more we learn, the more we realize how limited our knowledge is, or, the more experience we have, the more we realize how narrow our perspective is. There is wisdom in discovering that we aren't half as clever as we thought.

Answer 2

Because the more wise we become..the less we think we need to listen to anyone and learn anything new..we think we know it all..and in not listening to new thoughts and ideas we tend to lose our wiseness.
