"Why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?"
That is a verse from a song that I've heard a couple of times. Every time I've heard it or think about it, it makes me laugh. Haven't you ever thought that about someone? "Dude, why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?!?!" Or have you perhaps even thought that about yourself?
I'll be honest, I used to have a problem with "not knowing" things. And I might even allow you to assume that I knew something that I knew nothing about, just so you wouldn't think I was stupid. That's the truth. I was that way, but I'm not anymore. Haven't been that way for MANY years now. It's too hard anyhow.
There are a ton of things that I am absolutely ignorant about and I know it and I'll tell anyone that needs to know. What I do know, I know well. What I don't know, I don't know!!! I realize now that it doesn't make me stupid. There are lots of things I don't know about. There lots of things I have no interest in knowing about. And that's perfectly OK. Thank you God, for the things that I do know about. I know about you and your love for me. I know about faith, hope, and love. I know about family. I know about forgiveness. I know about friends. I know about Christ and his death and resurrection. I know about salvation and true LIFE. I know about loss and perseverance. I know about disappointment and redemption. I know about many things that matter. I don't know everything on those matters. But learning more everyday is what it's about. If I don't know something, I'll tell you that I don't, but I will also go find out! Unless it is about quantum physics, then you can go ask someone else, because not only will I not know...I probably won't care either. Just being honest.
So why you gotta act like you know when you don't know? I am going to start humming that song to myself when someone is doing that and it is obvious. That will make me smile and probably giggle a little or a lot. In fact, I am humming it now. Maybe if you've heard it, you'll understand why it makes me giggle. It just is one of those things that is so true and such a reality that it is humorous.
Soooooo, why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?!?!?!?!?!?

I try to not be like that, but because I'm "old," I've seen a lot, been exposed to a lot, and have read a lot, and that puts me in a position of knowing more than most young people, and people who are older, but have not "paid attention." But those who know me well, know that one of my quickest responses is, "I haven't a clue," or "I have no idea." Sounds like an excuse for being a "know it all," and I don't enjoy them either.
