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.
Richard Feynman
