I don't know. I really don't know. Well, when I say I don't know some of my friends refuse to trust me. And I don't know why. There are a lot of things I don't know. And at times, I don't want know anything.
Two of my friends have commented that I am fond of 'I don't know' and 'nothing'. Perhaps they are right, I don't know.
Sometimes it happens. You have nothing to say or you don't want to say. And there shouldn't be any reason, it just happens. Like now..I don't know why I am writing this.
At work, 'I don't know' can save your life, I mean, your job, especially if your job is your life. At conflict, it may save your relationship with your friends and loved ones.
I prefer to be a 'I don't know' person. Sort of self imposed ignorance. It really saves my energy than explaining a whole lot of things to some people who knows everything that I say or I mean but pretends to know nothing. I don't know why they have to behave such a way.
There are few things that happen in our life happen without us knowing why they happen. You don't want to act or react in a particular way but you just do. Is that impulse or spontaneity? Its kind of late when you realize.
There is a saying which goes like this; Know everything but pretends to know nothing. Is this right? I don't know.
I agree with you on this one.
ReplyDeleteI am another 'I don't know' person and whilst it might save me the trouble explaining something to people who don't really need the information, it's sometimes because I really don't know the whys, whats, whens and the hows.
I don't know why I don't want to go to the gathering. I don't know why I don't want him to come along and I sure as hell don't know why I can be nice or un-nice to a person.
People get irritated with me whenever I say I don't know. And then I ask them back, "Why are you so interested to know why I don't know?" And guess what, they don't know either.
Interesting! Perhaps asking is a pass time for them?!
