Truth
I frequently find that I "Know" something to be true, then later realize that I should have challenged that assumption.
Certainty based on experience is often an emotional shortcut intended to accelerate decision making. It's very often useful in troubleshooting, critical thinking, and deductive reasoning; wherever one must quickly rule out possibilities in order to come to a conclusion. However, this "certainty" is generally fallible. An incorrect assumption of certainty impedes the deductive process and wastes a great deal more time than it saves.
I must make an effort to challenge my own convictions.
Can we really be certain of anything?
