Partial information

It's hard to accept that our knowledge is always partial. We get our knowledge through our senses, and throughout time. Every day we keep interpolating the reality based upon a few isolated samples, moreover affected by noise. Only if we concentrate on the same subject long enough, then we start to get close to what its reality is, assuming that our presence doesn't affect it. Awareness of partial information is the key, never stop sampling the world, never settle down on anything, don't discard any sample, just keep collecting -- we don't know where is the noise and where there isn't.
