Not knowing

I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. 

I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing 

than to have answers which might be wrong. 

I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, 

and different degrees of certainty about different things, 

but I'm not absolutely sure of anything. 

There are many things I don't know anything about, 

such as whether it means anything to ask "Why are we here?" 

I might think about it a little bit, 

and if I can't figure it out then I go on to something else. 

But I don't have to know an answer. 

I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, 

by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose — 

which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell. 

Possibly. 

It doesn't frighten me.
