The Unknown Philosophy
When we see a box that is not intimidating, let’s say it is on your kitchen table, unlabeled and cracked open a little bit, our instinct, our nature is to look inside that box. We have a desire to know! Apparently the unknown beckons us. The unknown seems to elude us as we pursue it. We just want to have less unknown in our lives at the same time it is a catalyst in the process of getting answers.
Who is the future loyal to? Is the 'unknown' friends with the future or is the future our friend in finding out the unknown? To be fair, does the past get too involved, burying evidence as it cohorts with time.
The unknown can be dangerous. We must practice caution in certain situations, in which we are grateful to the unknown. So is the unknown a bad thing?
Why do we feel such ambivalence toward the unknown? The downside of the unknown fills our inquiring minds with uncertain scenarios, possible threats and unconfirmed theories.
We will have many unknowns in our lives. I choose to embrace the unknown considering it to be a growth opportunity, as in growth of the mind to seek and the heart to hold steadfast.
The unknown leads us to consider something in the universe knows, just not us.
We must accept there are questions we just do not get the answers to right now.
Some things should not be known so, may be the unknown knows exactly what it is doing.
I believe the future has all the answers even if we physically die not knowing.
