Epiphany. It is so amazing. Honestly, how revealing. The first time this happened it hit me like a cold Pacific wave. In the middle of a conversation, I was asked a question. But instead of giving my typical happy confident replies, I tilted my head to the side, stated that I was going to be completly honest, and slowly admitted that I simply didn't know the answer to that question. People are so shocked, surprised... and impressed when this happens, their eyes go wide and they start spluttering comments about my humilty and maturity.

Inside, my ego is screaming with disgust. I'm totally embarassed by my deficient knowledge of a topic that's significant to me. But I have evidence from work, home, and social encounters that it's okay. I really don't have to know it all.
