to understand understanding

We've all tried to understand.

We've tried to begin a new perspective.

Yet, changing your perspective does not mean we understand the situation.


We search for great minds, people who seem to understand.

When found, we throw dependency on those men who see with a new perspective. We search and thrive for knowledge. The ultimatum of understanding.
But,
of course, is it possible that we can't understand? We try to

figure out objects, emotions, reasons, life, death, purpose, people,
faith, ourselves. The result? We can't understand. We try, but fail.
We were not born to failure, we only achieve it. We even try to
understand understanding. The wastefulness and worry of the searching
drives men mad. Simply because they understand they can't understand.
To grasp the concept of understanding, want and need have to become
equals. We all want to understand, yet we need to to survive. In all
reality something, or someone must understand. If only that “one” or “thing”
understood, he must understand all. We all attempt to be that “one”
for someone else, for ourselves. Again, we've failed. So why are we
known to fail, and not made to fail? Did that “someone” or
“something” have something in mind? Does he understand for us
because he cares? Should we trust him, since he knows all? Should we
put that dependency on him?

Since we weren't born to it, does it mean that we had the ability not
to fail? Does it mean that we, on our own ability, have to fail,
otherwise there would be no need for that “someone” who doesn't?
So, with that, does it mean that the “one” has a choice to fail,
he just doesn't? There is a difference between someone who
doesn't
fail, and someone who
can't
fail. The person who can't fail will always do it right. To sum all
that up, this “someone” must not fail only because he chooses not
to. This is one of the differences between us and “him”.
We all know that if
there is one thing, there must be another. If there is wrong there
must be right. Evil, there must be good. A person without
understanding and one with. If we can't, “someone” can.
Now what? Now that we've established “someone's” out there, we
have to find out who he is. Will we ever meet him? Should we know
him? Why does he stay a some one, and not The one. We
always want to be sure, to know something. If this being, or thing or
man is “one”, does that mean he is greater than us? Does that
mean he will always be more? What if this “one” was a god? Will
we ever find The One? Will one of the gods ever be good enough, and
know everything, and understand it? What if this “one” was God.
The God. Is He the One who made us able to fail? Is he the One
that can, something we can't do? Is He the One we avoid
when wasting our lives trying to understand?
This God is the only true God, or person for that fact, who could ever understand you or
me. Why would He give so much, while knowing He would never get
anything in return? How can He expect nothing, yet want so much for
us? Why is it that He is everywhere, yet some never realize He even
Is? Why does He love with a love that no one will ever understand?
Maybe we weren't born for understanding.
Who wants a God thats
limited? Who wants a God that can only give or love a certain amount?
Maybe it's better we don't understand Him. We would never learn
anything new or wonderful. Its like starting a game that you've
waited all summer to get, beating it, then being severely
disappointed in the reward or outcome. Because our God is everything,
we don't have to worry about coming up empty in Him. He is never
ending, and He can give you more than you could ever hope or think.
He will always be more than you, with just the right words and
actions. He knows all, so why would we want to figure it out for
ourselves? No more wasting your life on searching for knowledge you
will never obtain. We need to choose to not understand understanding.
