No. I accept what I know isn't the whole truth, which takes away my fears of the unknown and that which I have yet to understand.

Door #1 asks, "What is the impossible?" Let's get real, and assume we know the impossible means the "impossible." Door #2 says, " If its impossible (or you think it is ) then that is not faith." I ask, what is it, then? Door #3 presents a contradiction as his answer: "...the Unknowable, may one day become known. " Dude, the whole point of Kant's noumena is that it is unknowable by man and THEREFORE cannot ever be known. So, that is what the answer is: 1. the impossible is impossible; 2. faith in the impossible is not faith; 3. YET Kant, the world's most confusing philosopher had faith in the impossible existence of things-unknowable. The contradiction stands as contradiction. Yeah, ok #2, there is a difference: faith to the unknown is an alternative in the face of not knowing anything; but faith in the unknowable is a slap in the face to the rationality of all mankind. There is no such thing as the "unknowable" except that which does not exist; therefore, noumena do not exist. Enki, the impossible can never be known because only the impossible is unknowable; all things possible are knowable, by someone, somewhere, sometime in Man's existence past, present, or future. Faith in the impossible is the opposite of "all things can be known that can be known." The impossible cannot be known because it does not exist. The unknown may or may not exist. ADDED: Door #4: "faith to the impossible is close-minded," you say? It is very open minded to believe the impossible is possible. The contradiction stands.

Not a 'deep' distrust, but definitely a certain amount of distrust. Especially in anything to do with the government. I'm afraid I've become a bit of a cynic.
Saying that, I do still have a sense of adventure and like to try new, interesting things... to learn. I'm afraid this one is a hard balancing act for me... like walking a tightrope. I don't want to trust openly, but I don't want to be afraid and miss out on life.
You certainly made me think! Thanks!!

No distrust! I LUST for the pleasure of discovery! And, I do like to probe deeply do discover anything different and unknown!
Sometimes, I even touch a nerve with my unstoppable probing!

I am cautious but I have found that the older I have gotten I have become more forgiving and tolerant of things different and unknown!!

I think we all have a certain trepidations when venturing in to the unknown & unfamiliar, but I think that you can't really experience life in a very fulfilling way of you don't push yourself out of your comfort zone.

No, I tend to trust right off the bat, I am willing to give everything and everyone a chance first.

YES! I believe that various intelligence gathering agencies in the US are spying on one's every word on the internet, and therefore have promised myself NEVER to use a computer.
