Love this reflection > Why are humility and curiosity required when we are ‘infinitely ignorant?’ We need both like wisdom and prudence....just check Solomon....he got wisdom but still needed 700 wives, 300 concubines and all the riches of the world. With Prudence we think more on the WHY getting all that would think you would be closer to God which is the Truth. Being curious in life we are but like little kids again in joy with learning and being humble we know not to seek the shinny objects but for ones that will not rust and provide the greatest good!
I couldn’t help myself, I answered all three questions immediately: Knowing, Research, Knowledge. Then I went into a deep dive about how I learn new things and I realized that these three questions explain the difference between those who seek knowledge and those who have no desire to learn. I became excited about the first, and sad about the second. I surround myself with the first and avoid the second. Thanks for making me reflect/think.
This reminds me of a quote..."humility is the recognition of what you don't have; confidence is to respect what you do"...especially whilst navigating a move & first time travel to Asia while cultivating a deeper level of trust with the unknown. ♾️🙏
LOL! I just got a cup of tea after writing that & the tea tag quote reads..."personal growth lies within the unknown; courage permits you to explore this space." 🍵🤌
Realising we cannot know but are free to explore is liberating, David.
Liberating is a great word for it. 🙏🏻
The not knowing offered me the spark of hope in a world where evidence has shown I might not ever heal. Thank you David
🙏🏻

I like your thought around being like kids again. Childlike (not childish) is full of curiosity and humility and gratitude as well.
