Balance

Most people go about their lives with no consideration for the why while fixated on the what. Then there are those who deviate from the what completely and spend their time questioning nothing but the why. I believe both cases are an imbalance; life should not be lived in ignorance of meaning nor should it be analyzed down to the point of exhaustion. I prefer to determine the what and then venture into the realm of the why. I prefer to know first and then question the knowledge or the origin of the knowledge, rather than to simply know or to aggressively conjure baseless philosophy. Man was endowed with reason for this purpose; it must utilize the defined variables in order to ponder the unknown. With no foundation, it collapses into the vastness of the universe, incapable not only of determining impossible answers but also to questions more simply determined with scientific discovery and empirical process. The issue must be known before it is debated.
