What’s something you believe everyone should know.

That it is impossible to actually know anything.

We can know things, but it’s always with a caveat. It’s what we know at that time. it’s what we have the capacity to know given our limited senses and frames of reference. It’s what we have the ability to understand.

A person can only know something with absolute certainty if they know everything. And it is impossible that a human being can know everything.

We accept and say that we know things because we know them with a high degree of certainty. But the truth is, we never really know 100%. This works, to an extent, and is necessary for us to function in any sort of efficient manner. But, because we can’t know everything, we should always keep in mind that we don’t actually know anything.

Keep an open mind and learn everything you can. You’ll never learn everything, but it’s a great experience to try to.
