If the pedant tries to know what's unknowable, by law of nature he will be punished

1 post in this topic

Lao Tzu said, 

The scholar tries to understand the unknowable. The administrator tries to administrate the uncontrollable. The public speaker tries to explain the inexplicable. The best course for physical and mental health is to know when to discard, eliminate, and stop your desire to understand the unknowable. But if he decides to keep on, by the Law of Tao he will inevitably be destroyed.
