Knowing less makes one teachable. If I already knew everything, I would have no opportunities for adventure, growth, new experiences because I would already know it all. That would be frightfully boring. The older I get, the less I know.
It's ok not to know. No one else does either. The ones who think they know are stuffing that anxious belly ache of 'not knowing' with the comfort food of belief, but beliefs aren't necessarily truth.
The less I think I know, the more open I am to true knowing.
