The Story of a Good Brahman by Voltaire

[George]

It is true the more we learn, the more we know the vast amount we do not know.


On happiness: I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who said, in essence, "A man is as happy as he decides to be."

What about the aging process? Will I one day know less, remember less, but be happier because of it ?"

However, I also believe that "great things can happen late in the game." Who said that? Was it a quote from the movie, "Under the Tuscan sun?"

[Timpane]

if we don’t like the interpretations which actually live we can habitually make new ones, but we will not understand the response in this life. To me this is the delight of being human, that we are shrewd sufficient to trial to explain life’s secrets while all the time understanding that they can not ever be solved.

The Story of a Good Brahman

One of my very favorite stories. I'm very surprised to find someone else who thinks so too. I think the thrust of the story centers in the balm to be found in believing that which makes our life easier, but a truly honest person will have no use for anesthetics to life's problems and mysteries but prefers the truth, despite the pain that may attend it.
