“how would a man live
if he neither
fully
believes in rationality,
nor in God?
how would a man resolve
the paradox of
meaningful existence
and yet, the
purposelessness it brings?
how would a man find
comfort in
fellow men who are
as equally as you,
mortal?
how would a man understand
Creation when he is
the Created,
and part of
the Plan?”
the blind one asked.
“how is it man’s obligation
to answer these doubts?
how could man not see,
that his duty is to
live,
not question,
not answer?”
the wise one reveals.

Mankind likes to contemplate the reason for one's existence - which often, I find, cannot be answered.
