Welcome

Hello everyone (or no one, if nobody bothers to read my blog). I don't know if it's customary for people to introduce themselves in their blogs, but I definitely will not because there is absolutely nothing interesting to introduce. I am a person who is trying to be, just be. If you don't understand what I mean, or believe I am spouting quasi-philosophical nonsense, perhaps I can explain it to you someday. For now, here is an "inspirational" quote:
“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death”- Albert Einstein 


Is intellectual growth fulfilling? I used to (and most likely still do) value it a lot. But somehow, in my pursuit of intellectuality, I reached unhappiness. Is it better to know more, or less? Well, beng a complete ignoramus is definitely not a virtue. However, it seems like apparent intellectual capability induces people to turn what was previously simple into the complicated. Everything has the potential to be complicated; life in general is hard to understand, but we continue to move by turning our backs to the unanswerable questions. The gaping holes that these questions often leave behind are filled with faith, often blind, but never to be underestimated. People can make themselves believe so many things. Intellectual growth opens many intellectual doors, but it can shut out what previously seemed like an answer. Isn't  intellectual growth all about getting answers and filling in the holes? So in order to continue to move, we fill the now-vacant spaces with other answers that are backed with what seems like logic. But in a way, we create new myths to build faith on only because we can't go on with too many question marks. However, when we arrive at an answer through our reasoning, we like to believe that we are right. We like to believe that our reasoning has more value. But maybe by reasoning things out, we have lost understanding (or almost-understanding) of other essences. 


I will not conclude anything in this post because I may not be finished. My writing and grammar is subpar, and for that I apologize. My thoughts are jumbled up, and my mind is complaining of overuse. But if I got someone thinking, then this post has some worth. If you are in any way interested in what I have to say, please let me know. Either way, I will probably keep writing. Until next time...
