“I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.”
Live, laugh, love.
It implies that an intelligent individual is not just someone who knows a lot, but also appreciates the fact that there is a huge amount of information they know absolutely nothing about. To be aware of one’s own weaknesses and of all the other knowledge yet to be acquired is what truly wise people are.
By stating that they lack certain knowledge, the individual indicates their readiness to gain knowledge, their receptiveness to outside influences, and their conception of knowledge as the process of obtaining more and more factual material. New knowledge will come as people’s society and culture develop. The assassins are timely aware of the idea that those who profess to know everything limit their growth potential and complete understanding. On the contrary, knowing that there are gaps in one’s knowledge ot yet present encourages more intelligence ingrow to and therefore an inquisitive nature ensuring that an individual becomes knowledge self-enhancing. In a way this quotation gives one an impression that the mark of true intelligence is the awareness of oneself and the willingness to educate oneself.
