Intellectual humility
Contradictions abound. Not everything makes sense all the time.
Reason and logic confer powerful advantages and can produce beneficial results. That doesn’t mean they’re always the best choice.
A contradiction does not necessarily invalidate any of its components. Just because one thing is true does not mean its opposite is false.
You might just enhance your perspective by holding two opposing views in your mind at the same time. You could very possibly learn something by navigating a path through the contradiction.
When you’re certain you have all the answers, back away. You’re sure to discover some enlightening questions.
Intellectual humility multiplies the value and practical usefulness of your intelligence. What you don’t know can help you greatly, if you’ll simply let yourself accept that it’s out there.
— Ralph Marston
