I have always thought that it was possible to fully understand things. Now, I’m not so sure.
I think it’s possible that all we do as humans is develop metaphors that approximate what we experience and prepare us to deal with it the next time. If the metaphors predict behaviour and response accurately enough, then they’re good enough and we don’t worry about it! Let’s be honest, our hard-wired goal is to live – to survive, not to understand. Understanding merely satisfies our intellectual curiosity.
(Oh my gosh! Did I just discover the scientific method and apply it to daily life?)
