Quiroga - 28

 

SCIENCE DOESN'T EXPLAIN

There is no scientific explanation for the fact that our imagination has the power to raise us to the heights of glory or to sink us into the miserable anxiety that prophesies the end of the world in a short while.

If science could explain why we experience the reality of emotions despite having the logic to claim that this is all just imagination, would we perhaps all be scientists instead of human beings?

When anxiety grips our guts, science does not understand us, nor do we understand science, nor are we convinced by the mathematical calculations that demonstrate that the end of the world is not imminent, we are experiencing the end of the world.

Many of human experiences are not scientifically explainable, because science wants to explain itself by fitting the entire Universe within its rational and objective expectations and not everything can be explained by logic or mathematics.

Science is simple-minded, disrespectful of its own nature, because it is posterior to reality, and even though it arrived after nature and humanity itself, it arrived navigating with the pretense of dominating and appropriating itself, but since it is posterior, and there is much more between heaven and earth than vain science intends, it can only deny and despise everything it does not understand, or tries to dominate, because it does not know how to do anything else.

If you are in front of someone in a miserable state of anxiety or discouragement, and you take the simple attitude of trying to convince that person that their state is an illusion, and that it is easily solved by thinking positive, for those who find themselves in that state, this makes no sense at all, and is even insulting, because it is the denial of a reality full of life.
