Not always bad – Mindfulbalance
“Not knowing is most intimate”.
It is a place of genuine meeting, where life is not obscured by our ideas about life. When you don’t know, you are free to discover. The mind that doesn’t know is open, curious, and ready for surprise. It doesn’t rush to conclusions or cling to old stories. Instead, it allows the world to speak in its own voice.
We often think of not knowing as a weakness, but it’s a kind of strength – a willingness to encounter reality without armor. When you admit you don’t know, you step into a space where something new can happen. This is where creativity begins, where love flowers, where the deepest insights arise.
