This is more of a rambling than previous posts – so I apologize.
Everyday on the streets, trains, and on facebook (mostly on facebook) there are people posting their opinions. More gun control; Less gun control; More jesus for everyone; Less religion in schools; Obama sucks; Obama rules; The new mayor sucks at plowing streets; The new mayor sucks as much as the old mayor; Can’t judge the new mayor so soon. I can keep going but I think you get the point. We all want to argue about why our way is right, or why what we think is the most accurate. But at the end of the day, the only thing we can know for sure is what’s happening in the present and our interpretation of whether it works or not. We can’t ever possibly predict what the ‘best’ course of action would be. We can’t do so in our own lives, and we’re even less likely to be able to do it on a grand scale.
We’re all just believers – believers in our minds – believing that they’re guiding us to some ‘right answer’.
You and I… we can both be sure of only one thing – relative to all the knowledge out there in the world: we know very little.
