Let me suggest something with which you may disagree violently: that at best, the products of human emotion, art, philosophy, politics, music, literature, are interpretations of the world, that tell you more about the guy who’s talking, than about the world he’s talking about. Trying to find ways to translate the knowledge. To teach us to ask the right questions. And then go and ask for explanations. And if you’re thinking, right now, what do I ask for? Ask yourself, if there is anything in your life that you want changed. That’s where to start.
