The disconcerting phenomenon of learning something new, and feeling you somehow know less than you did before. Bonafide knowledge is always a subtraction of certainty. If this is confusing, it’s because you are used to equating not knowing, with ignorance. But to know that you do not know, is the truest form of knowledge there is. The one all other forms of knowing rely on.
Your deepest knowing must be sweet and soluble.
What sits on your tongue like a pebble is not a sugar cube. Knowledge you can grasp is a fistful of coins. Please don’t strike a bad bargain. Too many have traded their days for small change.

I was cleaning up my inbox and couldn’t resist the urge to read this post too. 🙂 “Bonafide knowledge is always a subtraction of certainty.” What you can communicate in few sentences, a left brained person (like me) would need to write a thesis to convince. 🙂 On that note, I had enjoyed this ted talk by a neuroscientist, who very wittingly says “purpose of knowledge is not to know more, but to grow in ignorance”. 🙂
