"The spirit of liberty . . . is the spirit which is not too sure it is always right." -- Judge Learned Hand
I am free to make mistakes. It is okay for me to be wrong. I can say or do something that proves to be incorrect. I am not perfect.
Part of the liberty of being a human being is not being perfect; I am not God. In a sense this is a relief. I do not have to take responsibility for the lives of others or the crises in the world. It is okay not to have all the answers. Indeed, sometimes the spiritual life is discovered in "not knowing" and the answer will forever remain in the question. It is human to ask "why are we like we are?" But the answer rests in God.
God of Reason, let me be satisfied with discovering You in the questions.
