Life's Mysteries Unraveled

So I have been texting this new friend of mine. I feel like I am getting to know him better (Yes, you can do that on text). I started this new "game" called question of the day (QOD). I started out asking some of what I might call simple questions - what is your favorite color? What would you want with you on a deserted island? 

But then I want to get to know him better - so I threw out a more difficult question today. The question prompt was - what is one of life's mysteries that you believe you have figured out. Then i thought about what I would need to say if I had to answer that question. 

For me, the mystery I have figured out - is simply that I don't know everything. I am enamored with learning and asking questions. I can learn more if I listen with an open heart and not try so hard to impress - but rather let those other people impress me - simply by being who they are, having experienced what they have experienced, knowing who and what they know.

What have you figured out?
