I'm kind of fascinated with humanity's general inability to be comfortable with uncertainty or just not being able to explain absolutely everything. Human consciousness has a weird relationship with faith; I feel like we all desperately need it, but seem to resist the very notion of it as some sort of weakness or flaw, and I really wonder why that is?
Religion can't answer every question and neither can science, so what do we do with the unknown in-betweens? There are things that are just not capable of being known empirically in our existence until they're objectively witnessed somehow. It seems like most of us tend to approach this quandary in 1 of 3 ways: either ignore it as being inconsequential to our daily existence, put our faith in some system to explain everything, or take that faith to an extreme into the "mysteries that only a select few can understand" line of thinking.
I'm also surprised at how much that third viewpoint gets chosen. Every religious tradition and secular system always has sects of adherents that believe that there are deeper mysteries that only they are privy to that go beyond the boundaries of the established and "public" parts of that system. Again I find myself wondering, why is that?
The human mind is endlessly fascinating, chooms. :smart: :shrimplant: :spock:
