What’s Going on?

In this brief essay, I argue that while human knowledge is necessarily limited, fragmented and incomplete, one can embrace the resulting mystery, even find coherence, meaning and a peaceful relationship to “not-knowing”. In this sense, the question that burns deep into the spirit as to “what’s going on?” while not answered as such, can help humans develop and evolve their paradigms and knowledge systems, while also requiring humility in the quest and search, and a coming to terms with not been able to solve the conundrum, yet still fostering a better self and world in the process of such a cry in the dark, as it were. One learns to live with the mystery.
