It is simply the fact that all generalizations are inaccurate.
My advice: read a book.
Listen to Chopin's Ballade in G minor

Improve anything
Listen to George Crumb's "Quest." This is the best advice.
"You have conquered, and I yield. Yet, henceforward art thou also dead - dead to the World, to Heaven and to Hope! In me didst thou exist - and, in my death, see by this image, which is thine own, how utterly thou hast murdered thyself." E.A. Poe
"It is better to be hurt by the truth, than to be comforted by a lie." - Unknown
Study the Vedas.

Realize that you are not obligated to know anything. You are not obligated to do anything. Whatever constraints (external or internal) you (we) think you (we) have are because you (we) have adopted them by your own free will.
That's my start you complete the pathology of this...maybe that will help.
Yes, these are good words...
Trust yourself and always use your intelligence. All perspectives have value...
A poem called "Inscription on Trust in the Mind" by the third patriarch of Ch'an (Zen Buddhism before it came from China to Japan) Buddhism says basically that trust in the mind is the highest way...or at least part of it. It says "When trust and the mind are not two, not two, trust and the mind, there is no future, no past, and no now." It is all about non-duality...
But I didn't mean to get into all that...it gets deep and the point is not to go anywhere..."In the end there is no going or staying..." and again we are getting beyond the main thing, because as it says earlier..."without knowing the deep meaning (of the way), it is no use to quiet thoughts."
Er...all of this...simply means, to trust yourself.
This is a wrong notion, for we are at times obligated to know things and indeed we are obligated to eat or else we starve.
Free will does not work and only under a conducive circumstance it does or else it is the circumstance that molds or shapes our actions.
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
