John Keats' theory describing the capacity for accepting uncertainty and the unresolved.
'I had not a dispute but a disquisition with Dilke, on various subjects; several things dovetailed in my mind, & at once it struck what quality went to form a Man of Achievement especially in literature & which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is when man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts without any irritable reaching after fact and reason'

Ive always thought about it but i never knew it had a name. Trust that it was Keats :) just be dobtful, accept something as mysterious and dsont bother yourself with figuring it out. Theres no need, its just an unecessary stress.
