You said:
So if humans are all just cells in the ‘organ’ of humanity in the ‘body’ of life, why do we assume we can understand life.

So let me take the liberty of actually turning this thread into a question.

Can man ultimately discover truth? In this lifetime? Is there an "absolute truth?"

Why are we here? What is mankinds purpose? Where are we headed?

Now those are some questions that I think fit under this topic!
ya i know the thread title is off...i pressed submit before i finished my post and tried deleting the thread, that didn't work, and i dont think i can change the title


i recognize that i'm asking the most basic of all questions, i.e. 'why are we here, what is our purpose, etc.'

but im also wondering, are we even asking the right questions? is there a right question? everything that we ask, that we conceive is all in our heads. to assume you have the answer, is to assume your understanding is matched with some supposed truth.

but maybe this act of QUESTIONING is just something that LIFE does (through humans). but that's not to say the answers we come up with are a TRUTH. These answers are just what LIFE tells itself to keep moving forward. Like words of encouragement almost.
