Agnosticism

Modern scientists have no idea how the universe came about.

They don't know what the fundamental particles of matter consist of.

They don't know what matter really is.

They can't explain how rocks and water could turn into living beings.

They don't know if life exists on other planets.

They can't explain what consciousness is.


We don't know where we are coming from and why we are here.

We're lost.

We don't know who we are.

We don't know if evil and selfishness will be punished in the afterlife.

We don't know if suffering and pain may have a purpose.

Religious and spiritual teachers know it all, but they don't agree with each other.

How can this be? They can't all be right. 

Where are their adamant convictions coming from?

The vast majority of people

will never become famous 

never be recognized for anything

or even remembered

after their unremarkable demise.


We have no unique talents. 

We don't write books

we can't play any instrument 

and we can't carry a tune.

No one reads our blogs. 

We are not even supernumeraries.


We were born somewhere, and we will die somewhere.

In between, we wander about

as if lost in a big foreign city,

not even remembering what we were looking for.

Was it the Hotell? Crap! I can't remember the name of it.

Or maybe it was the railway station?
