It’s interesting how you mention “We’re able to think…” I agree, by being able to “think” we are one step closer to understanding- and it’s true, religion, or more so “faith” I feel is a major contributor. But mere thinking is not always enough and not all are able to expand upon this. I think it was Heller and to quote him roughly, (but that’s irrelevant): “It’s possible when man looks at things, looking may turn into observing; observing may lead to thinking, thinking to contemplating and contemplating to theorizing”. Unfortunately not all achieve the final stage. Perhaps an initial reason we cannot understand existence entirely. But why stop even if we cannot understand or even truly “know” it? Theorizing, exercising our mind, debating, crediting and discrediting gives us existence-helps us discover new realms of existence. I too, at times can’t but help ask “why?” but lately I find myself asking “how it fits together”. We’re all integrated, feeding off each other, learning from one another- essentially creating our own existence, to which one day, yes I hope we can accumulate what we have compiled together and expand further. *breath*. Not exactly sure where I’m going with this anymore, but without questions (which I see you completely understand) and without expanding (hopefully not through destructive means) and going further past simply observing what’s immediately in front of us- what else is there? We’ll never know. Our understanding of existence would become stagnate. You can see your questions have had a strong effect in evoking thoughts. Very insightful-you make excellent points.
