qotd, not knowing
January 21, 2011
"By and large, people don't like to live in the realm of 'not knowing.' It's terrifying. Which is why everybody wants to have all of the answers. Atheists think science has all the answers. Religious fundamentalists believe that their particular theology does. But 'not knowing' is a richer and more gratifying place to be. I have no idea what's going to happen to me, why the universe is the way it is, or what will happen to my life force once my body stops working. You probably don't, either. So just breathe and live in the great, beautiful mystery. And floss regularly."
-- Rainn Wilson, quoted in Real Simple magazine
I love that quote! It is so true. We seem to over think everything and make life too complicated.
