Conversations with my roommate lately have been on the topic of fate and God's plan for our lives. I had to confess that I really didn't know what I was talking about. All of my theories were pure speculation. I don't know God on that level, and I might possibly never know. I know for sure that as long as I am on this earth, I never can. As humans, we often feel that we can absorb all of the knowledge in the world just like a mosquito thinks that it can suck all of the blood from someone. However, it's not the case. Imagine it this way: take the rabbit. You could have a rabbit from day one and raise it in your own family just as if it was one of your own children. However, when that rabbit reached maturity, do you think that it will be able to comprehend the greater laws of quantum physics or great works of literature? No, it would be impossible. However, just as it is impossible for a rabbit to learn higher order logic and such, we are just as well incapable of understanding the nature of God or God's plan for the world. Despite our failure to comprehend such, we could still speculate. It might be nice to look back and laugh at ourselves after we're all dead.
