So much to learn… 3

Returning to a topic after a break indulged within another subject, I may not be starting from kindergarten - but I definitely have lost the high school knowledge and experiences I had previously gained. Maybe I am now in class one or two…?

With so many areas to explore, I am wondering if I should fixate on one specific topic and master it completely, or if I should stick to the slow plod of gradually learning everything and retaining a little, and step by step improving the amount I preserve.

Should I only study karma, or emptiness, nirvana, omniscience, meditation, the four noble truths, or Buddha's lifestyle? Or should I study a little bit of everything?

It is hard not to study everything, as I generally only have 2-3 books on any given topic. I would need to buy a lot of books to study only one subject at a time. I also take online courses, participate in discussion groups, and live a life. All these separate areas would need to focus on the singular subject to perfect it and retain the gain. This would not be very easy. Yet to almost perfect a topic only to drop back to beginner level understanding is also difficult.
