a common thread...

you know, one thing that i'm finding, both in people's presentations and my own doodlings, is that we really cannot answer just one of the five questions without answering and questioning another. for example, what is god like? that leads into questioning reality, which in turn leads into what exactly it is that we can know. I found it entirely interesting that, when people were presenting, more often than not (so far anyways) the presenter would end up answering  or involving the idea of one of the other questions in their response. philosophy, i have discovered (occasionally with much frustration) is a very circular subject, meaning one without an end. you can banter all you like, but there's always going to be something you've missed, something you haven't answered. how can we expect to find any one truth if we'll never be done questioning it?! perhaps that is the truth, that there is none. anyways, just found that interesting. sort of went off there a bit. but i'm sure you get the gist. i can only hope.
