We can deceive ourselves to know for certain something when we don't.
What is the way to know? I say sheer honesty is the way to know for sure.
You can say well you have to assess, that is true. But before you will bother to re-asses or asses, you have to be honest to yourself and say "do I really know?".
It's also the same when we know something for certain but we trick ourselves we don't know nor what we should know inside and realize we know and take the mantle of not knowing. We become ignorant of what otherwise we are certain of.
Again, I propose the way out is sheer honesty.
And sheer honesty with sincerity will cause us to search and eventually only hold to firmly what we know for certain.
Now a person might say, there is no certainty, there is just levels of knowledge, levels of justification and levels of non-justification.
Aside from 1+1=2 is a certainty. I think this is foolish, because shades of grey as possible only because black and white is possible.
Without possibility of certainty, there is no coming close to it. And without possibility of ignorance, there is no coming close to it.
And deception is ok, and forgiven, but not when it's stubborn to the extent it hates the truth it is certain of and becomes rebellious against it. This is where you crossed the limits, and then right and wrong being irrelevant except as suits the desires of the person.
