Dear Wisdom:

As to your last post: the more I learn about the world the more there is to learn. It is like this: picture a balloon in space. What I know is like the air inside the balloon. What I don’t know is like the air outside the balloon. The more I know, the more air is in the balloon and the bigger the balloon. The bigger the balloon the bigger its surface area and the more of the air outside it borders. So the more I know, the more there is to know. I will never know but a small percentage of what is but that is good enough for me. I am engaged in the process of learning.

As to your earlier post: “So not every single thing happens for a reason?” My goodness, I think that not a single thing happens for a reason, that is as part of god’s plan to teach us something. Things happen, good, bad and indifferent and we either learn or not. Often people do not learn. It is wise to learn. But see the difference I am suggesting:

I am suggesting it is a good idea to learn from what happens to us

And

I am suggesting that what happens to us does not happen as part of a plan, a destiny… to teach us something.

Till your next post…
