With each passing day, it becomes more apparent to me that there is so much in this Intriguing World that I do not know. And, in large part, I am at peace with that. I will never be able to fully comprehend string theory or the inner workings of the human mind.
In today's society, unfortunately, more importance is placed on knowledge than on wisdom. In saying this, I do not claim to be wise, but, rather, merely intend to state that I seek not to know, but to understand. Not to know what string theory is, but to understand the impetus behind the desire to have a theory at all.
To be truthful, the vast majority of things that I find intriguing in this Intriguing World are what most people would consider to be smaller tidbits, to be things of lesser importance. Like, why do the servers at Chick-fil-A always say, "My pleasure" instead of "You're welcome"? What's the idea behind this whole QWERTY keyboard layout? Why is the hot water knob on the left side of the sink? To me, these are not of any less importance. They may, perhaps, have easier answers, but that does not mean that the question is less meaningful.
I hope that this is a place where I can share some of this Intriguing World with you. I look forward to your input and also would love to discover what you find intriguing.
