I watched this video of Richard Feynman giving his viewpoint of what it is like for him to not know things. I think what he says is inspiring, and it reminds me of how satisfying it is to not have answers to profound questions. These mysteries that have yet to be solved leave me in awe. I also feel the same way as Feynman when he says, "I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong." Not knowing something is something that we should embrace while not being afraid to do so. This can be the motivation to drive us to seek the answers that will satisfy our curiosity.

This leads me to question how we can provide comfort to others who are scared to be content with having questions being unanswered. To communicate to them that guesses should remain as guesses, and not be considered answers to anything since they are just speculation. This most likely will be a battle that reason will have fight. Reason will have to chip away at a brick wall. Removing one brick at a time.
