I know I don't!.!.!.!.it is confusing on many different levelsWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well, I think we are bewildered (like you said) on so many different levels!. So many horrible things are happening around us and if you think about it, the only things that are stopping MOST of us from going completely insane are -love, tv, friendship and the internet and, well, nature!. But I mean, there are wars going on, global warming, water pollution, corruption, racism, anti semitism and just the average jerk that always makes your day alot worse!. I think none of us really do understand what is happening to us and what will happen, I guess, we will find out, in time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We don't understand the core components of reality!. The only sense we can make out of the world is the sense that we literally make!. Your beliefs create your reality!. Your upbringing may create your beliefs- or maybe self reflection will create your beliefs!.

Believing that beliefs create reality is a good goal for understanding the world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The world around was created by
either something by which science
has explained
which I will never understand
or by someone who
I will never comprehend!.

I will truly never know how the rain really works, how the clouds really fly,
how the air we breathe continuously lets us breathe, though we take it for granted so much!.

I would have lived 1,000 years and still not even dipped into the vastness and power of our World!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I find it persuading and confusing!. I'm in high school and they are trying to teach us about the world , which I find funny because it is changing all of the time!. I'm one of these people who would like to have a plan , but prefer to go with the flow!. The world to me is a book of questions with different answers to each one, suiting every individual!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

some of it, more each day!. But not by accident!. I had to learn how to use these tools of logic!.
1) The law of A=A!. Something can not be itself and something else 2) The law of either or!. you can't have your cake and eat it too!. 3) The law of the excluded middle!. It's not Black or white, its black or not black, white or not white etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You almost make that seem like a bad thing!.

It's only confusing if we expect it to have meaning!. But 'life' doesn't always have discernible patterns, meaning or purpose!.

If we accept that the world simply isn't always going to meet our hopes, expectations and imaginings then life becomes quite fun in my view!.

Yes, the world is confusing!. But isn't that OK!?

Not really; my last job was that of a computer technician, but I certainly do not understand Microsoft!
Being an older person, I really wish I could go back in time, to a less confusing, less confrontational, safer, friendlier time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Personally, I don't need to feel dizzy all the time!. I feel ditzy enough, as it is!. LOL I don't need to understand anything that is not in my own front yard!. There are enough weedsto keep me busy for a lifetime! Never mind the 'back' yard!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sadly the older I get the less I believe!.
the less I believe the less I understand
The more knowledge I get the more confused I become!.
I think my child understands more as she sees things in black and white!.!.whereas I see a multitude of grey!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, I don't fully understand it, even though I try to!. But I believe that this is the reason we're dropped in the middle of this big, confusing world!. I think that we're put here to try and figure it all out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Read Plato's The Allegory of the Cave, its as perfect and simplified of an explination of world we live in!.as anything that has ever been written!.
