Knowledge

Does it ever scare you that what you know is all you know? there's always something to be learned, knowledge has no plateau, rather than love, money, or fame, give me truth, henry david thoreau, i'll never know everything, but i'm going to try even so, how would you feel if everything you've been taught was incorrect? does object create subject, or subject create object? let me give you some time for that to sink in and reflect, alright, times up, lets inspect, language, numbers, and symbols were all created by someone like you and me, they are all simply tools to help us discern reality, but as soon as you label something it creates a dichotomy, because true essence transcends any vocabulary, all that's for certain are natural laws like gravity, you better get used to the thinner air of uncertainty, welcome to the high country of the mind, where absolute truth is next to impossible to find, if none of this makes sense, read about solipsism, yourself is all you'll ever know, man, this mind is a prison
