Knowing
All knowing begins with not knowing – and being curious to know more. When last did you say, ‘I don’t know’? Ignorance is a step on the path to wisdom. Knowing that we don’t know is a prerequisite for enlightenment. Yet we are schooled in certainty as a virtue – to act as if we know, even when we don’t. The world is complex and life is a mystery, yet we praise leaders who dumb it down into simple ‘truths’. The most dangerous people are those who are certain, who believe they have all the answers, who have no doubt. Beware!
— Wayne Visser
