Allness, or thinking that we can know all there is to know about a person, place, or situation, is an attitude that some people carry with them from one relationship to another. These people exhibit very little tolerance for ambiguity, which causes an unwillingness to withhold judgment.

Thinking we know it all limits our ability to perceive accurately. When we insist that our viewpoint alone is correct, we in effect are saying that any differing perceptions are incorrect. We would be wiser to open ourselves to alternative ways of perceiving. To correct a tendency toward allness, we could add an implied “et cetera” to each of our perceptions, acknowledging that there is more to be known than what we see.
