quoting“Poetry is what happens when nothing else can.” ~Bukowski
note1s93…9eul
Don’t be certain, be curious. Use curiosity like a hammer. Pound the nail of imagination through the flimsy cardboard of certainty.
Certainty is like standing water. It becomes murky, poisonous, and undrinkable if not treated. And it can only be treated (cleared, cleaned, refreshed) through curiosity and persistent inquiry.
Certainty creates mealymouthed conmen, snake oil salesmen, and charlatans who have settled on “answers” and “truths” and who have inadvertently created stagnation, rotten fruit, and flies in the ointment. Curiosity reveals the rottenness behind the stink. It unveils the bullshit artist behind the curtain. It uncovers the multilayered anti-reason of wishful thinking.
Curiosity is transcendent. It is a vehicle of nonattachment. It is a bird’s-eye-view in a world of blind men. It launches you past cultural conditioning, indoctrination, and brainwashing. It keeps you ahead of the curve by helping you realize that everything is on the curve. No exceptions.
Sell your certainty and buy curiosity. It will always be worth it.
