In my life, when the stakes have been high it has taken more courage to take on minor uncertainties than it has to take on major known dangers. A man with a gun out in the open would probably scare me less than entering a strange house where there might be someone dangerous.
Yet my knowledge has been an even greater enemy than my uncertainty when, instead of staying in the day, I've let my fear hold me back because I "knew" what was coming.
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. (Call 1-(800)-THEY-SAY if you don't believe me.) But a lot of knowledge can be even more dangerous if it controls us.
