Knowing / Not Knowing All the Answers
I think to myself, how uncomfortable — and undesirable — it would be to have my knowledge of things completely corrected; to finally have all the answers to every question ever asked, to have nothing to think towards; to leave nothing negotiable, ‘open for discussion’. How much more preferable ignorance seems. But given immortality, having exhausted all possible contingencies of any problem (for surely, there are only a finite number of problems with a finite number of solutions, however innumerable they seem), surely having the answer will eventually become desirable when compared to an eternity of uncertainty…Why do I hold onto the idea of wanting to figure things out for myself.
