I Know That I Know Nothing
from The Everyday Human · host Eastin DeVerna
August: On Wonder and AweAugust 29We’re humans, not gods! We aren’t meant to be all-knowing. Part of the fun of life is not knowing and then learning and discovering. What is more thrilling than trying so damn hard to learn something, whether from a book or in physical practice, and then failing over and over and over again until one day, it finally clicks. And you can say, Eureka! I’ve got it! I learned the sonnuvabitch! It’s a beautiful feeling, and an addictive one at that. So, yes, we know some things, but really, we know nothing, and that’s a beautiful thing as long we never stop striving to know more.Reflection title: I Know That I Know NothingCreative inspiration: Plato, The Apology of SocratesReflection question: Have I yet admitted to myself that I know that I know nothing? What would I like to know next?
