| Life without questions is a life to dream of, is it not? A place where all is known to mortal minds; a place full of excitement, yet not excitement of the unknown, but of the known! Who among us wouldn't uplift their hands joyously when asked if they'd prefer a life of knowing rather than a life of confusion and guessing?
I know I'd be the first to raise the roof.
Fi! The world has doomed us to misery. To misery! Where we once turned for answers we now scream complaints. Let the world fall, and me with it, only so that my misery be buried in its endless mysteries.

| Teaching comes from the heart. What we ingest through our eyes, our mouths, and our ears affects our hearts, as Jesus tells us. James lets us know that teachers receive a harsher rebuke than regular folks, and I think this is because we are required to live a more exemplary lifestyle. People who are being taught expect to be taught from a teacher who has a pure heart. So when a pupil witnesses his teacher do something that may be borderline inappropriate, the pupil's trust in the teacher's pure heart is diminished. Thus, he who teaches must teach himself; and often this is a hard lesson to learn.
Jesus himself also puts a heavy burden on a teacher's lifestyle, stating that he who misleads one of these "little ones" should be tied to a millstone (a few tons) and thrown into the deepest sea. In other words, being a teacher means living a life above reproach. Doing this saves not only your own life, but also changes the lives forever whom you teach.

| Time: The absence of foreknowledge. Seriously, if it wasn't for time, we'd know everything that was, is, and will be...all of this we would know in an instant. Life is this garden of future product, where all the seeds and shutes of future happenings lie dormant beneath the soil. We are the grueling farmers, simply waiting for what's to come out. We often wonder what the plant will be like: fresh, revitalizing, new? or horrible, deadly, or yet another heart-shattering trial? We can only wait...waiting for something we can never see until it's there in plain sight.
I can only pray the next few harvests bring in the opposite of what I've just reaped...
