The wisdom of not knowing.
Edinburgh artist Mike Heseltine.
The wisdom of 'not knowing' is the acceptance of uncertainty. It is the truth that all things change and we simply don’t know what will happen tomorrow.
If we can see things without labels, judgements or pre conceived ideas, then we see the world as it really is. Everything is impermanent and subject to change. When we struggle to control what is unpredictable, we suffer. But if we can accept the uncertainty, our lives become easier.
I think wisdom is not knowledge, it is more about empathy and love, which opens the door to imagination, creativity and wonder.
The Buddha addressed this idea of being at ease with not knowing when he said “Seeing misery in views and opinions, without adopting any, I found inner peace and freedom. One who is free does not hold to views or dispute opinions. For a sage there is no higher, lower, nor equal, no places in which the mind can stick. But those who grasp after views and opinions only wander about the world annoying people.”
