The following is a hypothetical analogy/metaphor;

Curiosity, ignorance and knowledge are three people in a meadow one sunny summer afternoon. Ignorance is blissfully unaware, driven by instinct and basic impulse to survive. He eats some berries beside a brook and sips water.
Curiosity, driven by intuition - has a sense that more is out there. She is searching for answers to her questions, in constant awe and wonder of her surroundings. Knowledge sits several hundred meters away in the grass, relaxing in the sun with little to do. He already knows all there is to know and exactly when and how things shall transpire.

My question is can these people ever successfully encounter one another? Can they interact at all without being fundamentally redefined? What happens if knowledge imparts all of his knowledge to curiosity? Does he cease to exist? Does curiosity cease to exist when she "knows" all? What happens if curiosity learns from knowledge to teach ignorance to be more curious? Can knowledge even be aware of ignorance or are they mutually incompatible? If he knows all how can he know of "not knowing"? And if not is knowledge really all that knowledgeable?
