Knowledge.

Why does a man, or woman, want to acquire knowledge? When a man or a woman wants to acquire knowledge, he, or she, does not know what the nature of the knowledge will be, after acquiring the knowledge. What does a man or a woman, search for in the pursuit after knowledge? Does the gaining of a particular branch of knowledge, bring with it's acquisition, endless satiation towards the quest for knowledge, in general? Perhaps, we are satiated towards the quest for knowledge, after a period. I mean to infer, that after a while, we are not driven by the quest of knowledge, as eagerly, as we were before, or are at present. So, is the pursuit of knowledge, just an automated and natural occurrence in the psychological functioning of a human being? Is the quest for knowledge, a different quest, than what we believe it to be? I mean, do we pursue knowledge of a different kind, than what we believe we are pursuing, when we believe we are? Perhaps, knowledge is like splitting hairs, and gaining satisfaction at the result of the splitting. What if the hair was not split? Then, we would not have satisfaction, at the splitting. My preoccupation, with learning, is that when I am learning, I am wondering, whether I am learning, too much, or too little. I would like to learn, just as much as is required, at the moment. This is the stimulus for my inquisitive nature. Perhaps, my search for knowledge, is a direct response to this stimulus. Is this the case with others, too? How then, does one define the term knowledge? knowledge is perception. Perfect knowledge is perfect perception, in accordance with the perceiver. If a person can acquire perfect knowledge, for any length of time, and he is conscious of this perfect perception, then what happens to the quest of knowledge, of the person?
