Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

You don't know how your new job is going to turn out.

You don't know how your new friendships are going to unfold.

You assume that if you navigate properly over even the stormiest of seas, you can eventually get to your destination.

And that's an action of faith.

And you have to make your life... You have to make faith manifest in your life unless you want to manifest the opposite, partly because you're steeped in ignorance.

It's like, what the hell do you know?

And so you're always facing...

The plenitude of the unknown in relationship to your own ignorance.

That's like the definition of being mortal.

And how do you step forward when you don't know where to step?

You're like the fool in the tarot cards.

You look up and you walk off the cliff.

And you do that while you're looking up.

And you do that with every step you take.

And if you look up towards the highest possible heights, then every step you take will have the firmest of all possible foundations underneath it.

And you can do that with every glance and every word.

And if you did that, you would set the world right.

Hammy and I were in Rome six months ago, and in St.

Peter's Basilica, which is perhaps the most remarkable building ever built, there's a remarkable sculpture by Michelangelo who

who's carved this particular sculpture when he was a very young man, and it's the Pieta, it's the Virgin Mary, the Divine Mother, the archetype of feminine perfection, if you'll have it that way.
