The other day, I was talking with my childhood friend about the paradox of knowledge. He wondered why, on social media, it’s often those who know the least about a subject who speak about it most fervently, while those who know the most say little, full of doubt and caution. They’re extremely careful when speaking about any topic. This made me think of Lao Tzu’s quote in the Tao Te Ching, Chapter 20: “(…) All men are full of ardor, exalted as if at a feast, like those climbing a height in spring. I alone am calm, without reactions, like a newborn who has not yet smiled, wandering, without aim or purpose!”

The concept of knowledge doesn’t resonate at all with my experience of life. I experience my ignorance from morning to night. I hold no knowledge; I’m moved by flashes of insight that I try to apply as best I can in my daily life, but nothing more.
In Tao Te Ching, Chapter 5, Lao Tzu writes, “(…) Between Heaven and Earth, it is like a bellows: empty, yet never exhausted. As it moves, more and more comes out.”
I am essentially empty, and from time to time, I’m carried by inspirations that urge me to act, to reflect. I truly believe the highest level of consciousness is ignorance: Matthew 5:3: “Blessed are the simple in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God.”
If knowledge exists, it is not of this world; we are mediums rather than learned monkeys.
