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.

That seems a bit facile, and maybe part of a lot of our problems today, too many specialists, and usually not special in the way you need!
My research seems to demand an ever expanding field of understanding, which is very frustrating. But if one takes out the need for speed, one starts down a road of indeterminate length with joy.
Maybe, life is too short to truly know anything? But is knowing something the point?
Well said, Peter.
This stumped me but good when I first read it here. Took a few daze, but I finally came up with two wee, germ-sized realizations about this…
1. It assumes that the very purpose of dabbling is to know it ALL.
2. Life is for completing things.
To the degree that you believe either of them two premises, I spose buddy has a point. I happen to disagree with both those ideas. Coincidentally (?), of late I’ve been thinking hard about this very subject of dabbling. Thanks for the extra fodder.
