I guess what I'm trying to say is that our thought process is endless and nothing we know is necessarily absolute. It's kind of a circle of knowledge enclosing some real truth that we're all trying to reach somehow.
But when you think, sometimes you're not quite thinking right and you find yourself rethinking your thoughts and changing the outcome of the created decisions that were thought and decided before. Thus our thoughts can never be absolute because there is an endless amount of information that we must process on a daily basis.
Take math for example. You start out with the basics: adding and subtracting. Later you add on with multiplication and division and square roots and cubed roots and imaginary numbers and definite numbers that cannot be explained in any other way then a name or a symbol (such as pi, e, and i.) Bringing you into infinite possibilities when working with imaginary numbers and such. And just when you think you've figured that out you are exposed to geometry and how some of these ideas can interact with us in the world. Sine, Cosine, and Tangent are just simple ideas of infinite ideas.
Then you step into astronomy where numbers have to explain everything and yet, because we don't quite understand it perfectly ourselves, our numbers aren't perfect: thus our knowledge fails us in many aspects.
But we keep learning. We learn and make mistakes in our calculations and sometimes correct ourselves. Sometimes too late and sometimes just in time. Or sometimes it is never corrected in our lifetime and years later someone must fix our mistakes for us.
Kind of funny how it all works out, huh?
I feel like posting a picture so I'll post the one below. I realized recently that although it seemed chaotic before it is really not. It is simply snowing and you have two trees and two telephone booths. Almost kind of artistic, don't you think? Not quite appropriate considering it is the beginning of summer, however I feel it would be nice to have some snow right about now!
