Does knowledge hold us back?
Knowledge comes with a price: certainty. When we know something for sure (or think we do, anyway), doesn’t it pull us out from living in the mystery of the next moment—in the unknowable and infinite possibilities? Isn't that part of the fun in life? Do we really find more comfort having all the answers and limiting possibility? Or should we instead adopt a beginner's mind to every situation, where what we 'know' is only one of many potential outcomes?
"In the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind, there are few." --Shunryu Suzuki
