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. When we struggle to control what is unpredictable, we suffer. However, in my life, when I have stopped struggling and accepted a situation completely, a clarity of thought seems to reveal the way forward. I think wisdom is not about knowledge, it is more about receptiveness and humility.
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.”
