It is ok to be unsure?!?

Ironically, I am not so sure about this – the diction “After all, we are just human” just disappoints me. I mean really – pay close attention to what you are saying. Read that line again – it is merely an excuse – and a mere excuse at that. We are human – hence we are fallible, it is ok for us to do mistakes – it is ok for us to be unsure and still act upon it.
I can see the intention – the good intention of whosoever coined this phrase the first time. Must have been some “nice” soul trying to console a rather uncertain one – caring just for the moment – hoping that a bit of false comfort would be pleasant for a while – till the whimpering soul can gather momentum again.
You think I exaggerate – trust me I don’t. This is the unwritten, unrealized reasoning for a lot of our daily activities. So much so has this gotten embedded in our system that it is almost a reflex defensive thought – it is our simplest way to be mediocre. Mediocrity isn’t simply in performance – it is also in action – it is in preparation – it is in lack of truth.
Truth – as I have iterated a number of times before – is the essence of life – it is the quest of it that should keep us going – And do not settle for truth as is taught to you – you know not the validity of your learning till you experiment with them – why?! – For the exact same reason – your teachers after all, were just human.
One might argue, that such an approach will push us back in evolution – I mean after all, our forefathers have gathered billions of years worth of knowledge and pushed it down to us via means of genetics, books, stories, urban legends – you think it because you were taught to think it – by mere humans.
Challenge everything – question it all – love your values for they will keep life simple for you when you can’t take care of yourself – Abandon them, question them, when you think that you know how to think for yourself. Why do you as a human need a larger force to recognize and bow to. You – you as man have conquered the planet – you are the supreme being – collectively, you can set new standards.
It is not just the Einsteins and the Da Vinci’s of their times who have changed the course of history – We all have had roles to play – know your role and be truthful to it. Be aware – push yourself, coz when you push yourself, you push society – maybe without realizing it, you are pushing someone else. Maybe you will be father/mother to the brightest mind ever, yet he/she would end up working at Dunkin Donuts just because you were too busy mowing your lawn to tell your kids about the virtues of truth and knowledge.
You are not “merely” human – It is not ok for you to be unsure, or for you to be mediocre – because you set the benchmark for yourself – set it high – the rest of the human civilization looks upon you to.
