The principle for Day #70 on the 101-day book report says: "Beliefs restrict you. Knowings empower you."

Today's principle comes back to the idea that beliefs come from outside of you. No matter how nice these beliefs are or how rooted they are in your cultural background, somebody handed them to you like a stick of gum.

Because knowings come from inside of you, they are a tougher animal to corral. And I think that the old saying "What do we know anyway?" brings home the point:

By definition, I can't know what you know--the best I can do is turn your knowings into beliefs. At worst, I can look around at this unfathomable world and admit I don't know shit.
