(#5824) I am a simple man

      There is nothing complex about me in the big picture. I am no genius, nor even a budding star. I am just a simple person who knows correct from incorrect. I haven't always known correct from incorrect because for me it was a learning curve that has spanned my lifetime so far. I am not done learning nor will I ever be. This is the fascinating part of being alive is that I get to keep adding to the information I already have. My mind helps with that because I do understand that my mind is like a data processing center. Information comes in and I evaluate it against what is stored in my memory banks.
     As you can see from this example we humans emulate our own abilities to help ourselves with knowledge. We mimic our own minds with technology that helps us gather and store information. Like computers and calculators. Our five senses are imagined in ways beyond our own ability so as to increase our ability to analyze, reason, and conclude. This is still very simple and is not so hard to understand like quantum physics or black holes. With each generation the envelope of information expands and gives us tools to better evaluate our Universe. Which to me eventually leads to a reasonable answer to the question of "why". Why do we exist and why do we not know?
     The great question of why is beyond any conclusion I will ever know in my short time in this existence but helping to answer that question for the future of our species is a noble cause. Not because of any ego inspired motivation but simply because we can ask the question. I have never believed that our species is limited in how we perceive if we give ourselves the chance to explore. The nature of a living thing is to survive and thrive. I see no reason to believe that we humans are not the same. To survive we must take care of ourselves. To thrive we must apply logical knowledge to our lives in every way possible. The simplicity of life is in the details of which we all can reasonably know with little effort if we so choose.
