I don’t know what I think until I see what I do.

Assumed opinions are dangerous. They can create major blind spots.

This mental frame helps us in multiple ways.

• Tames down arrogance that often masquerades as self righteousness while simultaneously increasing humility.
• Acknowledging that we don’t know ourselves as well as we think makes us more aware and conscious of our thought process and decisions in new situations.
• We don’t associate our identity too closely with assumed principles and values.

I don’t know if I will steal until I am actually starving or facing lack of funds for a loved one’s surgery. Acknowledging that is the first step.
