i understand you quite clearly. that's the thing, though. everything is linked, but it is not likely anybody will ever know "everything". i like to think of it like this; a tree has bark, but if you never learn that a tree has bark, though, that doesn't mean that the tree doesn't have bark. when we look for knowledge to feed ourselves, it's as if we are lost and trying to survive, then suddenly coming across a chest. looking this chest is like looking for knowledge. it maybe empty, but we look because of the chance that it might be full, and we do not want to passing it by only to find out it contained a map. not to mention, we normally don't have any other clues as to where we look next. we do not want to abandon potential, our problem is thinking that great knowledge is recognized instinctively, and so we continue to look for something that awes our minds. but great knowledge is only as impressive as the attention you give it. and the more you know about a magic trick, the less exiting it is.
it's actually very much like a magic show. we spend more time looking for the trick than at the trick. then when you finally discover the trick, it's not a big deal to you.
