It is indeed humbling to realize there is much we do not understand. However, it is not humility to bury our heads in the sand to ignore what we know is true for the sole purpose of rationalizing a false belief.

I have never done this in my entire life. I have never buried my head to ignore what it true. Sometimes I wish that I had because not doing this has cost me so much.
