It used to be that I knew a lot. I mean, I went to college after I went to war after I fininished grammar and high school. At the time I went to all those schools there was no political dander in class structure. It was all concrete with no abstract ideas of a political nature. Once you learn facts it is difficult to sway one’s reasoning toward the surreal. Anyhow, that’s the way I look at things now.
As I got older, however, I humbly realized how little I actually knew when the realization struck me that things like gravity, though well studied, is still kind of tricky when it comes to theory. I mean, its invisible so we just kind of have to throw our hats at that theory despite the egos involved in that theory. The mathematics we know is rather earthbound isn’t it? Somewhere on the far side of Uranus things might be different from earth. If you don’t like Uranus as an example then you can use Saturn or any far-out- there planet of your choice. The sun is always a good starting point in realizing how little we know versus what we think we know.
Then again, you can open the bible and there is yet another way of looking at things. It all depends on a very small patch of this planet that we live on as to how we see things. You see things differently than I and that is where science kind of gets parsed. Different outlooks due to different environments bring different experiences and that is the exciting aspect of the human condition. We all think in the same manner but arrive at different conclusions given an identical bag of facts.
Once we understand this we have found our starting point in life. Understanding is underrated. The more we try to understand one another the easier it is to be peaceful. Peace. What ever happened to peace? It is also a fleeting concept on this planet and that is one fact I understand without science and their theories. Peace is temporary. War always looms. Do you enjoy ice cream? I do.
