It was a great post, but I noticed that many folks here weren't getting it. It sounds cliche, but I knew alot about everything when I was an obnoxious 21 year old. Now as a grizzled 33 year old, I have a much better appreciation of what I don't know -- which I find empowering.
Perhaps humility (or the perception of it) is a "symptom" of being more secure in other areas.

And then you realize that you're mortal after all, and will never even know enough about all the things you're deeply interested in, let alone those many things that sounded interesting, but that you never explored. It teaches you a lot of humility, but it doesn't feel that empowering. At least to me.
