Theory of Real and Fake "I Don't Know"

More often than not, “I don’t know” is used for convenience sake than for the real reason. When you don’t want to answer a question or evade, you have a readymade answer – “I don’t know”. In genuine cases of “I don’t know”, well that’s when people forget this magic word. You get way too many ambiguous answers which confuse you rather than a straight “sorry, I don’t know”. Needless to say in times of total helplessness of awkward situations “I don’t know” pulls you through.

When you are restless, the best way to describe a day where you can get nothing done correctly and definitely not at the right time there is an anxiety or may be kind of sixth sense that makes you jumpy even at the slightest deviation. I’m definitely not talking about the bout of day to day lives, well it could be applicable in that case too I suppose if you don’t intend to think too deeply. Anyways back to the topic, this kind of unknown worry has no base or one which we can’t figure out with tiny bit of intelligence we possess. It makes you irritable, angry or you just move on the vegetable mood. (Where you just sit and start without doing anything. Please don’t take sit too literally). And of course this is the time when everyone known and otherwise will remember you and too desperate to get to know recent (not) happenings in your life. The answer “I don’t know” the reply which has the remote possibility to save you, only irk that one-day-well-wisher to dig for more. Like Mr. Murphy, whose law we apply to even the slightest glitch in a day, the answer “I don’t know” should be made for the vegetable mood situations.

Having said that I really don’t know why I’m even writing this. May be there is a lot more to do with “I don’t know” that it appears in the surface.
