words "I don't know" more than you probably hear any other three word phrase. It suddenly dawned on me how much I dislike that phrase, I won't lie...I've used it many times before. It's a cop out, the ultimate lie, a cover of the truth. Because the fact is, you do in fact know why. You always know why you do something. Everybody knows why they do stuff. You get in your car you start driving, you know why. You walk down the hall and say hello to somebody, you know why. Every action, every thought, every question, has a reason and there's no doubt that you in fact...know that reason. So..why do people say it so much? It's all a matter of wanting to admit that you know. As soon as you say something out loud, it's there, it's reality, it's...alive, and there's no way to possibly kill it. So, I don't believe in the words "I don't know", because you know why. You can't ask somebody for advice and not know why you're doing it. Obviously you're asking because it matters and because it matters there's no way you're not thinking about it and if you're thinking about it, it obviously matters. If it didn't matter, you wouldn't be thinking about it.

I don't believe in the phrase "I don't know"
Over your life time you hear the words "I don't know" more than you probably hear any other three word phrase. It suddenly dawned on me how much I dislike that phrase, I won't lie...I've used it many times before. It's a cop out, the ultimate lie, a cover of the truth. Because the fact is, you do in fact know why. You always know why you do something. Everybody knows why they do stuff. You get in your car you start driving, you know why. You walk down the hall and say hello to somebody, you know why. Every action, every thought, every question, has a reason and there's no doubt that you in fact...know that reason. So..why do people say it so much? It's all a matter of wanting to admit that you know. As soon as you say something out loud, it's there, it's reality, it's...alive, and there's no way to possibly kill it. So, I don't believe in the words "I don't know", because you know why. You can't ask somebody for advice and not know why you're doing it. Obviously you're asking because it matters and because it matters there's no way you're not thinking about it and if you're thinking about it, it obviously matters.
