Instead of striving for certainty, we should be in constant search of doubt: doubt about our own beliefs, doubt about our own feelings, doubt about what the future may hold for us unless we get out there and create it for ourselves. Instead of looking to be right all the time, we should be looking for how we’re wrong all the time. Because we are.

what you can’t put right you must try to make as little wrong as possible. For things will never be perfect, until human beings are perfect.

Whenever we do something wrong, then, from now on we will not blame anything except the opinion on which it’s based; and we will try to root out wrong opinions with more determination than we remove tumours or infections from the body. [36]

We are faulty and there is no need to bother trying to correct our flaws. We are so defective and so mismatched to our environment that we can just work around these flaws.

There are very few things we can know beforehand. We will try and if we find we are wrong, we will have to change.

I may be wrong in regard to any or all of them; but holding it a sound maxim, that it is better to be only sometimes right, than at all times wrong, so soon as I discover my opinions to be erroneous, I shall be ready to renounce them.

...There's no right answer
to the wrong question.
Now what do we do?

The secret of being wrong isn’t to avoid being wrong! The secret is being willing to be wrong.

Whether it’s ourselves, our lovers, bosses, children, local Scrooge, or the political situation, it’s more daring and real not to shut anyone out of our hearts and not to make the other into an enemy. If we begin to live like this, we’ll find that we actually can’t make things completely right or completely wrong anymore, because things are a lot more slippery and playful than that. Everything is ambiguous; everything is always shifting and changing, and there are as many different takes on any given situation as there are people involved. Trying to find absolute rights and wrongs is a trick we play on ourselves to feel secure and comfortable.

Don’t find fault, find a remedy.

The only way to improve tomorrow is to know what you did wrong today.

Either we shall find what it is we are seeking or at least we shall free ourselves from the persuasion that we know what we do not know.

Don't find fault. Find a remedy.

We shall either find what we are seeking, or free ourselves from the persuasion that we know what we do not know.
