There is something good about being confident in one’s knowledge.
But I pity the know-it-all who, blinded by his own conviction, has lost respect for a fellow’s differences.

The moment the self is placed on a pedestal,
the moment one ceases to listen,
the moment arrogance is valued over respect,
Knowledge becomes worthless.

For the value of knowledge is always relative.
It is never absolute.
