Sharon's Monday Post

        Discussion today went further into the details of what we previously scratched the surface of. The main topic involved the wall people establish to comfort themselves and provide an excuse for not doing something; the example with Juan and Philip helped clarify this point well. Something else that I found interesting was the idea that we ourselves created logic, just like we created religion –this effectively means that scientific reasoning is another wall. While I do see how understanding that nothing can ever be fully, completely answered due to the infinity is, in a way, striking down the current wall of logic, it makes me wonder that in doing so, aren’t we just creating another wall promoting that nothing can ever be explained? Isn’t it a form of comfort to be able to say that something cannot be explained anyways and to stop trying? Yet I also see validity in the statement that there are certain things that we must accept will never be answered. I feel that this just proves Dostoyevsky’s point that no matter how often we strike walls down, new ones always arise; it makes me wonder what new walls will arise in the future.
