In this episode I talk about abstract thinking and with our ability for reasoning. Aristotle (Cleary, 1985) said that abstract thinking is a sign of intelligence and a virtue in humanity. But where does this virtue agree with our collective common sense, where lies the acceptable rationality? How can we accept it without pressure, without mediums, without relying on others? How can we accept it when no one is allowed to influence us? Through educating ourselves we can achieve greater understanding of a truth, and without taking these steps we may find ourselves unsure and have to lean on others or accept being ignorant of some truth. We know that to understand entirely is impossible for humanity. So in this process there must inwardly be a true north, where humanity meets the outside of themselves, and it connects inside their very being.
Knowledge and wisdom have standards in our world. What we have learned of life through primary sources, secondary sources or through tertiary sources, are environmental and cultural layers to oneself. So, the question will be how many layers do we have to peel off to connect with our being? Our truths bounce between our fellow women and men. We strive to come to a common understanding in our existence, and it is stretched and tested as our worldview expands through ages and global interconnectedness.
