There is no answer, only ways

It is the obsession to know. The inadequacy that accompanies our ignorance. The clash between a sagacious personality versus a mundane one. Early on we find our niche and seek to become connoisseurs within our respected fields. We undermine information that is presented from external sources because it could potentially tarnish our credibility. Modern day science is adamant is trying to snatch grounds from theology. Mathematicians are adamant in figuring out certain equations and disproving others. Psychology and Sociology are constantly on the brink of war trying to establish whether it is the internal or external aspect which dictate human behaviors. Although these truths are often coerced into making concessions, they are no closer to finding the answer. There is no answer. Academia was created to quench the curiosity of Man. It is a religion in itself. Some blindly follow theories made by "apt" individuals, and other create their own evaluations of the world they live in, deeming these ideas to be concrete. To assume what we believe is bulletproof, is to validate our inner narcissism. To assume that all is an assumption, is to validate our lust for obscurities. These type of intellectuals have a fetish for questions. To answer their question is to stab their ego. In their mind anyone who has the gall to procure a conclusion to a rhetorical hypothesis is a pompous fool. The moment we let go of this urge to know merely just to know, is the moment our minds can find peace. And when we need to figure out how to solve our issues in life, we can simply emulate those before us that have suffered from similar dispositions. Science isn't the answer. Religion isn't the answer. These are methodologies that create ways for us to cope. Cope with the scarcity of existence. Cope with mortality. Cope with the fact that an abundance of knowledge can still keep us ignorant.
