well i ran out of titles... so i dun tink i'll be putting titles in me entries in future unless i realli do haf some inspiration for one.. hahz... well anyway i shld stick to me quota of one entry per week.... well at least on me own blog.. so here it is.... i guess i'll make it a short entry.. hahz... but i tink it'll be quite meaningful..

well i've been tinking a little lately abt Man's constant pursuit for knowledge n ,at a deeper level, wisdom... especially since i've been reading a little on philosophy as well as a book in the Bible written by the wisest man of all time.. King Solomon.... well whether datz true is up to u to discern for urself...

well anyway wat there to discuss abt dis pursuit for higher planes of intelligence n understanding? well while in pursuit there's always an objective or a final goal to be met... some call it nirvana... some call it enlightenment... i'll juz generally label it intellectual perfection... well may nt be as apt a name... but datz the best i can tink of... given my deteriorated state of linguistical abillity... hahz...

while reading up on philosophy... i stumbled across a certain philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche... some German guy who wrote realli strongly against Christianity as an institution saying dat itz the cause of the entropy of society n blah blah blah... but datz nt impt... wat he waz seeking waz for a perfect representation of wat truths realli are in themselves... the knowledge of wat things realli r instead of values or appearances dat haf been imputed by Man in general... but as i read on abt his life... toward the end he ended up insane.. nt being able to haf a firm grasp on his mental faculties....

n now onto the book of Ecclesiastes dat i've been reading up on dis week... king soloman has mentioned the pursuit for wisdom n i quote frm chap1 verse18 "For in much wisdom is much grief, And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow." strangely enuff... as opposed to the widely accepted belief dat with wisdom/enlightenment/knowledge comes happiness n a sense of well-being in itz totality, such wisdom/knowledge in fact brings juz the opposite...

well... perhaps we could infer dat Nietzsche was closing in on the perfection of wisdom n perhaps he lost his mind to grief n sorrow..

so wat am i trying to say here? well i believe wat we realli need as human beings is nt to seek the perfection of wisdom n knowledge as taught by philosophy... but instead we shld seek wisdom simply for the sake of increasing it for ourselves... the further nitty-gritties of the reality of truth need nt be investigated merely bcoz itz nt necessary at all... n as we saw it could place a great burden on the mind dat we can't bear.... even king solomon acknowledged dis remarking dat such a pursuit is indeed in vain... therefore he wisely simplified our pursuit in life to juz dis... "Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil."

i dunno if u would subscribe to such an idea of involving a God in ur life's pursuit... but i'm juz sharing wat i believe is best n i dun intend to impose any of my beliefs on anyone...

well i guess i'll leave it as dat.. hahz... dun wanna tink too much... so til the nxt entry... ciaoz... ^^
