At a wedding for a close friend the minister had spoken very striking words, "...and all that we really yearn for is to be understood." Being understood is a great desire held by many but even greater is the understanding itself. To what degree is this true? The idea to seek understanding is human and is reflected in our many unanswerable philosophical quandaries. In truth nothing can truly be answered because a true understanding of anything is impossible.
Man is desperate to understand his world and the universe in which his world belongs. Such a shame he will never achieve it.
