Socrates famously said “The only thing I know is that I know nothing.” Socrates noted that others labored under the illusion of knowledge, but they weren’t aware that it was an illusion. His awareness of his own illusion was what made him, reputedly, the wisest man in the world.
Many times during our lives we might get the feeling that we don’t know what is happening in our lives, that we’re not really who we try to be, that we’re just pretending we know how to be an adult.
We might be very uncomfortable with that idea. However, it surely beats the alternative of being certain in foolishness.
