i know nothing

What is truth? I have said that your truth doesn’t have to be my truth and what feels true to me may not be true for you. But then I think that the truth just IS and doesn’t need us to believe it in order to be true. Interesting contradiction. What I am learning is that as soon as I begin to feel comfortable with myself and what I believe, I have become complacent and judgmental because in some way, I think I have found the truth. That implies that I have some magical knowledge that isn’t known by all. I say I don’t judge but isn’t it judgment to say that it’s ok if you don’t understand or believe as I do? It is condescending, even if not consciously. And when I find myself judging another, I need to look inside instead of outside to figure out why. Arg. I feel these cycles of I know nothing, I learn, I know something, but really, I know nothing…
