Yes, but unfortunately we don't become wise just because we realize how little we know. If only it were that simple...

You just need to realize that no matter how great you are, you're no better than anybody else.

Really? I think I know what you might be getting at, but I'm still going to write a few lines about this.
So no matter how good I become, I can never be better than someone else? There's only a few ways in which this can make sense. One is that everyone is always so far ahead of me that I'll never catch up. Another possibility is that there is no measure of "greatness" and no concept of "better and worse" to be used in the first place, which sort of brings up the question of why you phrased it that way.
I apologize for putting your words through a strainer (
), but I've heard similar things being said before and wanted to respond to it.
