 THE COMFORT OF PREJUDICES

The Universe does not fit into the rational understanding of our humanity, because it is full of paradoxes and contradictions that are not understandable by reason, but our rational understanding fits into the Universe, meaning that, when we sense something greater than ourselves, it is of little value for us to try to fit this experience within the scope of our understanding, it would be better if, faced with the challenge, we expanded our perception.

However, it is in the face of this experience to which all of our humanity is subject all the time that the freedom to decide is defined, whether we are going to fit reality within our beliefs and prejudices, or whether we are going to accept the adventure of knowledge going beyond what we give for  known and guaranteed.

That's where freedom is defined, because nothing ever forces us to expand our knowledge, we can always choose to take comfort in prejudices and force the entire Universe to fit within the limits of our understanding, and what doesn't fit will be treated as something negligible.

This is how prejudices are born.

Avoid being scared by the complexity of the scenario that presents itself to you, because not only will you be able to handle the task, but you will also be surprised by your ability to manage problems and find solutions.
