I am inquisitive because I am NOT knowledgeable.

How's it go? "There are only fools who think they are wise and wise men who know they are fools."

Are you familiar with "The Cloud of Unknowing" Something you said earlier reminded me of it.

You said "We just exist. That's about all we know." The Cloud of Unknowing says something along the lines of that's all we need to know.

I can only hope so.

No, I am not. Most of my readings are in history, languages, and science. Philosophy and religion have historical and sociological value in my world. I read very little if any prose.

Does that make sense to you? Why does it say that's all we "need" to know? How does the author know what we need? That's way too dogmatic.
