always in a state of flux, always questioning, never knowing anything for sure ... sounds like a road paved to insanity ... so if we never know anything for sure then we are nothing? if you are always questioning everything around you when do you ever get to stop and enjoy your life. If you never stop questioning and never stop to say "it is what it is" .. when do you get to the point of saturation of always questioning? it would seem that if life were never ending questions of what if and how about's .... you would get such a convoluted thought process that one day you'd just have to sit down and say WTF? I think one can sit and dwell on the what if's or why is, etc so much they they forget to live ... carpe diem ... Socrates is not my favorite ... he makes my head hurt after a while. knowledge is great unless it impedes your social skills ... it's all about balance ... just my opinion.
