Philosophy

Philosophy

Philosophy.
Contemplation.
Why?
Why
anything?
Why
anything
at all?
Existence,
what’s the
point?
Grappling for
understanding.
Avenues of
approach.
Delving for
answers.
Answers!
Infinite.
The finite
wrestling
with the
infinite.
Philosophy 
a fools
errand.
Primate
contemplation.
How far
can it
reach?
With infinite 
understanding
to be
had.
How much
can be
known?
Working with
what’s
provided.
Intellectually
governed.
Limited
in scope.
Philosophy.
Thinking,
searching.
Working
with what’s
supplied.
Shackled by
reality.
Dancing 
in a 
small hall.
Passionately 
dancing,
exploring 
nonetheless.
Philosophy,
why not?

Bravo JP this is a fine write. Gets the grey matter thinking and wondering really what are we all doing ? If knowledge is infinite then are we just always going to be falling down a rabbit hole for answers ? I loved this one
