There was once a philosopher so wise he knew almost everything and everything he knew he wrote down on paper, in case someone would ask him “what do you know?”  He would show that person the stalk of thousands of books he had wrote with everything he knew .But do you think that someone would take the bother of reading a million words just to satisfy four? .This philosopher also had a  ghost friend called Aphilio ,a poor restless soul that once rode the same path  as the philosopher himself, trying to achieve the complete knowing of everything there is to know .They got along well, well…well  until the philosopher screamed that is.One day the philosopher sprung to his feet and screamed” I did it I know everything there is to know and it’s all written down on paper”, after Aphlio,the restless soul, heard this words he flew to the philosophers side and screamed “how dare you say such a thing ,I am the one who knows everything and knowing everything haves its price witch I paid” –‘’but why on earth do you speak to me in that tone “ said the philosopher-“As I said you aren’t worthy of saying that you know everything there is to know , and by the looks of your flesh I can tell that there are still 3 things you need to know before you know everything .The philosopher was puzzled  so he instantly opted for his greed of knowledge –“tell me what are these 3 things I don’t know tell me ,I have to know in order to know everything “ said the greedy philosopher.And so the ghost  clapped his hands and a source of bright light shattered the philosopher’s eyes and once he  opened them again he was floating above his body in a ghostly figure ,”but why on earth am I dead?” asked the ghostly philosopher-“once I illuminated your mind to the knowing of the last thing you had to know in life there was no point in life itself so you died “said  Aphilio-‘’but wait you said there were 3 things I had to know before I knew everything ,you already told me two of them ,then what’s the third one?” asked the recently  deceased philosopher-“the one I just answered” said Aphilio the also wise ghost.
