However much you know, no doubt there will always be far more to know. Sure, learn, but accept that with our little perspective we will never know the answers to those 'big' questions. You might think you know, you might persuade yourself you know - but why bother? What's wrong with accepting the inevitable? Enjoying the mystery? When I look around at all the often contradictory notions people live by, it makes me doubt that ANY of them are based on objective reality. The question then is, why do people universally have them? I think it must be built in, it is part of our makeup, but that doesn't make the ideas true. I think they are simply tribal badges, affilitations that are part of our complex social natures. Anyone read Straw Dogs, by John Gray?
