Knowing

My observation has been that when people (myself included here) talk in the theoretical, it doesn't take much, perhaps a question or probing comment from someone, before the theory becomes a belief to defend.

Some things we can't know for certain. Fear of that leads us to grasp and declare. I think Shunryu Suzuki said/wrote this.

We all must face the fear that most of this world is unknowable.

This practice is hard work.
