andtheensuingchaos:

What I am about to say may seem obvious to people who don’t struggle with the consequences of over-philosophizing, but here goes.

No, but for real. For all our existential crises, it never quite occurs to us that we were not permitted eyes to see the whole picture. Not permitted.

We’re in a sort of denial that we will never be anywhere near smart enough to understand the half of it. When we don’t understand the world, we assume chaos rather than acknowledge human shortcomings.

No, we don’t understand the world, but somehow it is running regardless, hmm? So maybe we should just chill a little and trust the One who fashioned it. It really is okay. Our understanding of the Universe is not what holds it together.
