(#5924) The search for knowledge will not fail you

      The search is the key. Like in life it is the journey not the destination that is actual living. Searching for answers to questions known and yet to be known is how I keep my zest for living. Most everything else in life will fail me but not my quest to know. From expectations of relationships to sports outcomes to job disappointments, the failing is consistent. Yet my thirst for knowledge never is less than what I expect. I may not learn what I want to learn but at least I learn. What I have found is inconvenient at times because my expectations did not meet my preferred outcome but that is real and not of my making.
     I am here as an observer, not as a creator. So what I learn is what I accept when the logic and common sense of it balances out to become indisputable. So many lose sight of the fact that we are not here to design our own existence, we are here to understand what existence is in reality. We can adjust our place within existence but we cannot speak an existence into being simply by pronouncing it. Which is why learning is so vital to our human being evolution. The Universe is a most vast expanse of space and requires of our species time to make even rudimentary sense of it. We are only in the very early stages of that time to understand therefore not enough is known yet.
     That means there is time in existence for all of us to participate in the learning of it. The constancy of learning is purposeful and will not let us down when we keep coming at it from the innocence we should be utilizing. Wide eyed is how I hope to live every second of my life. That means I am being filled with wonder at what life is offering. Beyond all the normal procreation and structuring modern societies is the ideal of a manifest destiny for our species. To go beyond our own space to other spaces yet traveled. Out beyond our existence on this planet is another reality we have barely begun to touch. Our search for knowledge is sacred to our species and following into it with all our might is our calling.
