"As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex
and more mysterious."

The writer here puts forward the point that as humans acquire more knowledge, things tend to
become more complex rather than being more simpler or being more lucid. With more knowledge
comes more unseen or latent parameters that were previously missed.

These parameters which were previously missed provides a new perspective which in turn makes
the situations more complicated. It is like the saying that- with more option comes more confusion.
Take the example of a newborn baby who if left alone besides a tiger won't even blink and eye
because of the fact that he or she doesn't understand how harmful a tiger can be.

If this point that has been put forwarrd by the writer is looked from a business perspective will
bolster it very strongly. It is True when said that business involves taking risk, a person who has the
knowledge of the outcomes that wil happen if that particular risk is taken will never dare to take that
risk. And due to which will never have that slightest chance of succeeding.

Concluding, knowledege is a tool that is more powerful than anything and with knowledge comes
great oportunities but it is also not wrong to say that with knowledge and with better understanding
of things the complexities are incresed too.

"As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but
more complex and more mysterious."

Essay 
'Ignorance is bliss'. Most of us would have come across this saying at sometime or
the other. Have we ever wondered the reason why this saying has succeeded in
carving out a niche for itself in our world? The reason is that one cannot contest
the issue that in the process of acquiring more knowledge, things do become more
complex and mysterious. However, it is not necessary that things do not become
more comprehensible in the bargain. One does begin to comprehend things easily
over the time spent in acquiring knowledge. Nevertheless, the scales tilt in the
favor of the latter whenever comprehension and mystery surrounding an object or
phenomena are taken into account as a result of the ongoing process for acquiring
knowledge. 

History of mankind is testimony to the fact that most of the earlier civilizations
worshipped the sun and the moon as they were the only celestial beings as per the
astronomical knowledge prevalent in those times. Centuries have gone past, but
mankind is still intrigued by the complexities and mysteries of the universe. Man
has gained immense knowledge in the subject of astronomy, but our universe and
the celestial bodies continue to intrigue and baffle humans. There is no limit to the
knowledge that has been acquired on this subject over the last few centuries.
However, each new discovery opens new doors to further speculations and
theories. Along the way, certain other aspects have indeed become more
comprehensible than they were before, but this understanding of the universe is
nothing as compared to the dark mysteries which have not yet been unraveled by
man. These mysteries and complexities have arisen from the knowledge that man
has acquired after years of research and study.  

After one has acquired knowledge it is imperative that the knowledge be applied
for clearing the complexities surrounding a thing. However, in the process of
solving the intricacies involved, it is possible that the solution to the complexities
may involve another thing or a phenomenon which stands unexplained. This would
stimulate man to look for solutions to the new mysteries that have thus been
unraveled and the process continues probably at the cost of making something
comprehensible.

Therefore, it would not be incorrect to say that things, by and large, become more
complex and mysterious as one acquires knowledge. However, one cannot refute
the fact that there are certain things and phenomena that do become
comprehensible as a result of acquiring knowledge, but at times this
comprehensibility may be insignificant compared to the complexities that have
arisen as a result of the knowledge acquired.
