This is truer than people might realize. Dig deep, there is a significant powerful truth buried in this statement that can redefine life and create more positive and powerful experiences. As we navigate life, become educated in society, and learn from experiences we inevitably think we know.
We know what people are like, we know what this means and that means, we know what to expect, and we know what will be good and what will be bad. All of these perceptions are defining a reality before it even has a chance to show you something different.
To know is to not know is a statement that drops judgement and allows the experience to demonstrate something new. It also creates an openess for you to discover more as you read the rest of the article.

To "Know" is to be filled with wonder; a fresh new Buddha ready to explore your world with wide open new eyes.
Thanks for the reminder!
The more you know, the more you understand how little you know. There is the danger of becoming jaded, worn - but anyone who has really become more educated learns in the process that
perspective is everything, and perspective changes, even for one person
context is everything, and context is impermanent
the way we define what we "see" is always changing
what we actually see is also always changing
Still, one can pay attention, be observant, look through eyes of compassion, and digest certain kinds of knowing, all which can build upon one another, layer by layer
until something new slices through it all again
and you see with the eyes of a child.
