Discovering

Think about it – the world is made to discover
We have obviously, curiosity, which leads us to try to understand
Bu couldn’t we be made like a bird who automatically knows how to build a nest
All animals, in fact, uniquely mature into adults, being able to survive, build homes etc. etc.
Only us humans, spend a lifetime discovering
There must be a colossal reason for this mechanism to have been built into the fabric of society
The answer is simple enough
Unless you discover something, you don’t appreciate it
One of the greatest feats – if not the greatest God made – was, we are born into a world in which many were not educated about God
This led the existence of God himself to be discovered
In fact, this is how God was introduced to our world through the searching and intellectual discovery of Abraham
Yes to discover a truth, is to hold it dear
But there is a liability to this mechanism
For our egos tend to enjoy our pride in our discovery, thinking we are so smart for having discovered this
And once our egos get inflated, our rational objectivity (as well has a host of other factors) gets deflated
For this reason God made another truth – as God is infinite we will continually discover ever more lessons in life from God
So no matter what you have discovered, relative to infinite discovering, you have discovered nothing (though relative to darkness at least you are in the light)
