If philosophy has taught me anything, it is that I
know nothing. Or was that Rose Leslie’s character, Ygritte, from Game of
Thrones? Anyhow, the concept of philosophy allows one to push their minds to
critically examine the world in which they live. This examination, if true and
honest, should not shy away from seeking to answer those questions which may be
deemed unanswerable.
With that being said, Bernard’s theory is a bit
flawed. Honestly, can we truly define human understanding? As a self-proclaimed
Christian, I have an understanding of my faith and how my faith directs my
path. Thus, the mysteries of the world are not beyond my understanding. What
may not be understood by you is viewed as a miracle from GOD to me.
I perfectly understand that the abilities of my mind
can take me many of places. “Oh, the places you will go!” (I Read Story Books)
Yet, the abilities of my mind are a gift from GOD. A gift that does not deter
me from seeking understanding, even if the understanding is a mystery. More so,
it is a gift that propels me to seek that understanding that I may serve as a
light for those in the dark
.
In conclusion, the pursuit of knowledge beyond human
understanding is a gift from GOD. The pursuit of that wisdom serves to move
humanity forward. It serves to provide focus for unfocused and bridge the gap
for the lost.

I'm half with you: the abilities of my mind ARE a gift. And sometimes a curse... the disabilities moreso.
