Day Twenty - Curiosity

 

Curiosity by Zin Vaitiekunas

Curious, questioning, How much do we know?  Isaac Newton, when asked this question replied
"What we know is a drop.  What we don't know is an ocean.  Newton died aged 84 in 1727.  How much more do we know now?  How much have we forgotten?

I believe this world has deliberately been created to be full of paradoxes.  To quote Kant, "Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made."  So much is not neat, clean, explained...

This called for Ecclesiastes Chapter Nine

I’ve noticed some strange things.
 The fastest don’t always win the race.
 The strongest doesn’t always win the battle.
 The wise somethings go hungry.
 The skilful are not always wealthy.
 The educated sometimes lead disastrous lives.
These things are not predicable. Fate takes its turn.

PRAYER: With you I can question and explore without any risk of going astray.
