“I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong”

Simplified Meaning:

It's more exciting and fulfilling to keep an open mind and enjoy the curiosity of not knowing everything rather than having definite answers that could turn out to be incorrect. Imagine a scientist who loves exploring nature. They'd rather ask questions and discover new things every day instead of thinking they already know everything, which might be completely wrong. This approach can make life more adventurous and less stressful, as you don’t burden yourself with pretending to know it all. For example, if you’re learning a new hobby, like playing the guitar, it’s better to try different techniques and figure out what works best for you, rather than sticking to one strict method that might not be helpful. In everyday life, being open to new experiences and understanding that it’s okay not to have all the answers can lead to personal growth and happiness.
