We either take everything for sure and real, or we don't.
If we follow the first, we end up bored to death with ourselves and the world.
If we follow the second and erase personal history, we create a fog around us,
a very exciting and mysterious state in which nobody knows
where the rabbit will pop out, not even ourselves.
When nothing is for sure we remain alert, perennially on our toes.
It is more exciting not to Know which bush the rabbit is hiding behind
than to behave thought we know everything.
--Don Juan via Carlos Castaneda
