I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
If you follow these two rules – don’t believe yourself, and don’t believe anybody else – all of the lies that come from the voice of knowledge won’t survive your skepticism. Being skeptical is not about being judgmental; it is not about taking the position that you are more intelligent than others. You just don’t believe, and what is true will become obvious. This is very interesting because the truth survives your skepticism even if you don’t believe it. That is the beauty of the truth. The truth doesn’t need anybody to believe it. The truth is still the truth whether or not you believe it. Can we say the same thing about lies? No, lies only exist because we believe them. If we don’t believe in lies, they simply disappear.
