On all of my browser there is one bookmark that I will always have. I visit this bookmark when I get a free moment. This bookmark is not the usual time waster like facebook or twitter. This bookmark leads to a random article on Wikipedia: Link

What does this do?

This exercise lets me know just how little I have explored, how little of the world I will ever know.

Even in this age of technology there is not enough eyeballs on screens for all of the hours in the day to know everything about everything.

I keep clicking through random articles and come across worlds I had no idea even existed a minute ago. Now I am looking at all of these stories, histories, and intrigues. Epic battles and loves, and lives well lived all unknown to me. I click again, again, and again. Discovering unknown epochs and creatures and philosophies.

This humbles me.

Any boredom or overconfidence just drain away after being hit by all of the knowledge.

It reminds me of the Pale Blue Dot
