Well, I know a bit of my thing and nothing of most things. But as one of the characters of East of Eden said, and I'm not quoting, because I don't remember the exact words, there would come a frightful time (our time) when human knowledge would be so vast, nobody would be able to know about everything.
I've become good at hiding my ignorance of certain topics when need be and I admit that I only try to learn what interests me.

Not a terrible endeavor--especially if you have lots of interests.

Well, I'm glad there are a lot of things I still don't know, a lot of books I haven't read, a lot of people yet to be met. That's what keeps me alive...

Isn't that the truth?

There is always a ...place to go....people to meet....things to see....food to taste.....things to learn....

But alas, we never have enough time. If I could, I would like to live to be 28 for at least 30 years so that I could have enough time to do the things I want to do.

(wishful thinking)

True. Thanks for your optimism.
I know the rules, but I still have to learn to put them into practice, because, although I agree 100 % both with you and Elaina, sometimes it's easy, but sometimes it takes a lot of effort when not everything is as sunny and perfect as we as humans still expect it to be.(Maybe I shouldn't generalize)
I think very often we strive to change reality in an unrealistic way, instead of changing our attitude and learning to take things in our stride.
Para compensar el rollo que me acabo de marcar:
