There are a lot many things in this world that i do not know, have never come across, that sometimes grosses me out or is simply beyond my vista of knowledge. does that mean that they are wrong ? some of those things, i may never understand even if i question them, some i may just never have the time or inclination to think about and some may just not be worth knowing.

To realize my knowledge has its boundaries is to humbly accept that there are workings of this world that are just different from my own. that doesn't necessarily mean that i am wrong or inadequate. that need not make me insecure or disadvantaged.

it is hard to give-in and accept differences that you don't understand, because sometimes they are in direct contrast to what you may have been believing all your life. your sense of well-being, security and assurances are challenged and threatened. but more often than not, it is necessary to atleast acknowledge the existence of some things, because they are closer home than you realize. to reject some notions at its face value is like rejecting someone on the basis of their skin color. it isn't just wrong, it is unfortunate. it is like putting blinders on your own brain and never giving your own intelligence, logic and education a chance.
