"The man who knows everything, can no longer learn anything new."

My father once said to me, "The man who knows everything, can no longer learn anything new." I do not know why everybody wants to know everything. Once you know everything, what good does it do for you? School for example, tries to teach you everything and show you how everything works, but doesn't this just takes away the mystery of life?  I remember being little, and spending hours with my friends checking if there were any pixies under the mushrooms in their yards, and later thinking that I must have just scared them away, never even imagining that they did not exist. This of course did not go on forever, I think it was one of my teachers who ended up breaking me the news, crushing my hopes of ever catching Tinkerbell. Now, I am in high school and realize how much I do not care about how gravity effects the way things fall down, until then, I had always thought that they fell that way because they just did. And I was ok with that, I was alright with creating my own excuses about why things were the way they were, not by using formulas or mathematics, but by just using my creativity. Is that not why we have creativity, to create our own conclusions, to create our own world out of the mystery it already is. What good is a secret if you tell everybody?
