The beginning of wisdom is doubt
By Jay Davidson
The beginning of wisdom is doubt.
It is the admission that we don’t know everything, a willingness to learn, and the ability to think rationally. Our lives are a path for learning, perfecting rational thinking, perfecting ethical actions, improving.
Doubt is the cup of pain we must endure to improve.
Ignorance is knowing everything, and then shutting off any ideas contrary to your own. In fact, this dark ignorance is a phase we all go through. It is most unfortunate that some, a clear majority in this age, get stuck in it. They are absolutely certain in their ignorance. They scream and yell, burn down, and destroy. I feel sorry for their abject ignorance and the certitude with which they pursue it.
