I think this is a wonderful summation of the individual human condition in general. We may never fully understand ourselves, we certainly will never understand those around us,

and the world and our place in it? Ah if a man's reach should but exceed his grasp.....

I've been spending a lot of time thinking about, and studying the tenets of Buddhism.

I've come to the conclusion that the essential crux of that religion is
"don't even try to understand, just accept".

Perhaps a gross misunderstanding or oversimplification, but it works for me.

Seems to be a good way to live, at least on the micro level.
