“We need mystery. Creator in her wisdom knew this. Mystery fills us with awe and wonder. They are the foundations of humility, and humility is the foundation of all learning. So we do not seek to unravel this. We honour it by letting it be that way forever.” (The quote of a grandmother explaining The Great Mystery of the universe to her grandson.)

The world needs more of this. People shouldn’t feel uncomfortable or feel awkward about saying “I don’t know.” Mystery drives the ambition to learn more.

Thanks, Mark. Yes, our world does need more of this. I have a new favorite quote now, “Mystery drives the ambition to learn more.”
