They are not opposites. We
often place them in that box. That too, is indicative of our quest to
understand. We have a need to know, to wonder, to question. Ok!
As the herd migrates for
the winter do they question why they do so? Or is it that we like to think they
must question the unknown just as we do? We are human beings. They are animals.
I once read the Torah from
cover to cover. A feat that I will not repeat, but it was fun. I came away from
that experience changed. I think during those times of history that
extraordinary things occurred. It was a time when there were few who were able
to record it in writing and able to pass on that which was not written via
memory.
Yet, as the acts of
investigation progress we’re beginning to unravel events that can be explained
by evidence. Now we seem to have evidence of how the sea parted. Will these
discoveries lead us to eventually understand how Moses could have actually met
G-d at Sinai? Or that we will understand how Jesus could have risen? Or that
there actually was a Siddhartha known as the Buddha?
So, for today, I ask: Why
spoil the fun?
What I mean is don’t we all
benefit from faith? Some require an “organized” religion. Some are content
investigating until we “understand”. Yet, when all else fails, do we not find
peace when we surrender? When we surrender there are no limits. None. Try it.
But you must have faith.
