Reason and Purpose, then, On the potential impossibility of knowing the unknowable
not to not want:
a fickle fleeting
purpose that floats
above the
that's just the way it is,
for no reason:
purpose with no reason,
will this satisfy?
Wouldn't we rather have
reason with no purpose?
Science remains theoretical:
reason can have no reasons,
that's just the way it is.
Reason wants to find
a reason for itself, or,
it seeks the unfathomable,
in fact, irrational:
to comprehend the
incomprehensible, or,
to know God, is
thinking's end.
Whether we like it or not, all enquiry, investigation, due to curiosity, leads us towards an answer, eventually, that is unfathomable: an answer that we will never be able to know is the answer that we want to know; but perhaps there is no answer, only searching, drawing from nothingness, making comprehensible, or trying to, what was previously beyond our ability to comprehend: improvement or decline?
As far as we can question we arrive at more questions, or something unknowable.
Perhaps we can never make comprehensible the incomprehensible; the unknown remains distant in the abyss unreachable by the hand that would bring it home to the known.
