There are too many things in this world to be learned, and life is too short to learn everything, so we should complete that which we have begun rather than dabbling in many things

James's comment: I use to have an insatiable thirst to learn everything and anything about everything. Now, however, i have calmed down a bit and understand this quote a lot better. My attention has been more trained on my mindfulness practice then learning more and more because there is no end. If we get too into learning more and more it can become a vicious black hole.
-Peace to all beings-
