To be wholly unconscious of the short comings of his thought and the enormity and incalculability of his considerations, to the point of not knowing when his efforts become self-defeating, is the folly of the philosopher.
His heart, lacking in the substance of Truth, moves only to shun the ones who think they can find it by any other means. "If only they knew what they don't know." he mutters. "Surely those who do not seek as I, cannot know". But, if there's one thing this philosopher does take on faith, it is that Truth is only to be had by hard-nosed scientific examination and rigorous proof.
"The monkey is reaching for the moon in the water.
Until death overtakes him he'll never give up..."
Perhaps one day, if his efforts remain diligent, he will have enough to convince himself of something ..but until then, his path remains unending and his thoughts unyielding.
"If he'd let go the branch and disappear in the deep pool,
The whole world would shine with dazzling pureness."
