We learn not about what is known but about the limits of human-knowledge and how what is known may not always necessarily be so. Answers are never wholly right nor wholly wrong. There are no absolutes. In reality nothing is ever precise, neat, stable, definite, nor certain. Doing the right thing means thinking for oneself, using the best of one's judgment, often choosing the least undesirable of a set of undesirables. And at the end of it perhaps never knowing whether what one did was really the right thing after all. All of which is most frustrating for those of us who would really prefer to keep-up the illusion that everything is actually black-and-white. |
