Accepting your lack of awareness

[TruthFreedom]

I think that many people have many different ideologies and beliefs surrounding many different topics. People like to believe that they are "aware", for example, they see someone with a swastika tattoo and assume they are a Nazi, however the same symbol is often used by Buddhists. 

What I'm saying is that no matter how knowledgeable you become or believe yourself to be, there is always the possibility that you could be completely wrong. 

Knowledge is not intelligence, it is just the gathering of information.   

As human beings we are born absolutely clueless, and it takes YEARS just for us to be able to form a coherent sentence. We take so much stuff for granted, mainly because of the ideas we were programmed with by our parents. 

Once you become fixed in your beliefs, you rescind the possibility of having new insights. Speaking personally, I have practised looking at everything in the world without labelling anything and also seeing the world as ONE, which probably makes me appear quite unusual, as I don't have much of an opinion or reaction to any specific thing. This is because I have become aware that all beliefs are relative. And then I reflect for a second, and realise that that   is also just a belief. 

All the education you have received in your lifetime has come from other people who were also born clueless and have tried to figure things out, the same as you.

I have done a lot of deep thinking, so some people think I am a genius, but then I might be completely unaware of some very basic things about society or whatever. What I'm saying is that it is probably a good idea to start by accepting this lack of awareness. 

Fuck, what do I know?
