I think each generation questions things over and over until they finally think they’ve come up with the “answers” but then the next generation will start to question everything and come up with their own answers. And then the next gen comes along and well, you get the point.

But don’t you think maybe some generation long ago maybe “did” come up with the answers. I alway imagine back in Plato’s day, all those people in robes philosophising. They came up with a lot of stuff. Maybe they came up with a lot of the “answers” but of course we might not know about it.

A dude in the rainforest may know it all, but he just didn’t write it down.

The Great Thinkers are great though. They have their own opinions but can inspire others who then come up with their own cool, original thoughts.

Who is right and wrong in thought of existence of whether God exists or not? Maybe we’re all right. Maybe we’re all wrong. Maybe the right and wrong mixes and cancels it out so all our opinions are neutral.

Maybe I need to read more, but I dig Plato.
