知不知上
“To know that you do not know is highest. To not know but think you know is a sickness. Only by seeing this sickness as a sickness can you be free of it.”
知不知上,不知知病。夫唯病病,是以不病。圣人不病,以其病病,是以不病。
The most intelligent people are the most comfortable saying "I don't know." There is freedom in admitting your limits. You do not have to have all the answers.
知不知上——知道自己有所不知是高明。
不知知病——不知道却自以为知道是毛病。
圣人不病以其病病——圣人没有毛病,因为把毛病当作毛病对待。
此章虽短,却是三种认识层次的完整表达。
