Seeking

"I believe, but I desire to understand." ~Anselm
It amazes me how many people in a philosophy class jockey for the place of "most knowledgable." It not only amazes me, but it also makes me want to vomit. Isn't the claim of the philosopher the knowledge of nothing? You don't have to be knowledgable to abstain from hypocrisy.

Aren't we all philosophers, since philosophy is the perspective through which we live our lives, regardless of our knowledge of the "philosophers?" If life is a journey, so is knowledge, and so is perspective. Therefore...

...well, you know how it goes.

If you don't, think about it; you will.

Will you understand? Well now that's the million dollar question isn't it? Just don't call Christianity a möbius strip because you don't understand it. Don't call Jihad a terrorist act because you don't understand it.
