Foolish Story

A Persian-Tajik thirteenth-century poet Ibn Yamin (Ibn Yamin Faryumadi)(ابن یمین فریومدی), born 1286 in Faryumad near Sabzevar and died 1368, says there are four types of men آنکس که بداند و بداند که بداند اسب خرد از گنبد گردون بجهاند آنکس که بداند و نداند که بداند بیدار کنیدش که بسی خفته نماند آنکس که نداند و بداند که نداند لنگان خرک خویش به منزل برساند آنکس که نداند و نداند که نداند در جهل مرکب ابدالدهر بماند One who knows and knows that he knows... His horse of wisdom will reach the skies. One who knows, but doesn't know that he knows... He is fast asleep, so you should wake him up! One who doesn't know, but knows that he doesn't know... His limping mule will eventually get him home. One who doesn't know and doesn't know that he doesn't know... He will be eternally lost in his hopeless oblivion! ------------------ Sent using the Muftisays Android App
