It is difficult not to have the desire for more answers than questions. How is it, that one can filter out that desire? Where does the constant ability to be content with what we already think we know about life and consciousness come from? Perhaps the fact that life will never really be complete as far as we will consciously know, could give some sort of stability to these questions. If we were to know for sure that there was a definite end to any new discovery or knowledge that we would somehow be conscious of, there would be little or no point to any pursuit of further knowledge beyond what is commonly known.
Basically, if we knew everything in the universe that there was to know about anything, what would happen? Would infinite knowledge have room for emotion? With the way we structure knowledge and learning today, emotion doesn't really seem to fit into anything. So any activity, anything we do now that we enjoy, would possibly not be necessary if we knew everything.
Or how about this, we know everything, therefore we let emotions rule our lives. Could that be "the way" of infinite knowledge.
Just some things to think about I suppose.
Nobody but ourselves have the answers to these questions. Though we seem to form our answers in ways that can mold comfortably around our lives. With that said, be sure to poke holes for your eyes to see out of, notches for your ears to hear from, and an opening for your mouth to breath through. Otherwise your mold will be the only thing keeping you from what may be the truth.
