#this is about religion and gender and biology and the fact that species aren't real apparently and physics and morality and existence

It's all connected. I mean... it's ALL connected but specifically the what happens when you start looking deeply into a definition and you notice that it's not quite as black and white as it appeared on the surface. When you start erasing the hard edges of a box you drew in your mind and realizing that maybe all those other edges of all those other boxes are a bit too harsh as well. You can't dig into one subject and learn that it is so much more complicated than you thought without then applying that to other subjects. Once you start to look at the world and definitions and 'simple truths' in a certain way it's hard to stop. And it can be scary! To watch everything you thought you knew crumble down around you! But it also makes the world so much more beautiful! So much more wonderful! When you scrape away that superficial certainty and find a million questions hiding underneath it can be frustrating it can be intimidating but it also opens up so much! Those were questions you never thought to ask before and now you can ask them! Even if you never get an answer! I don't think I believe anymore that there will come a time when humans know everything there is to know. And that shakes me to my core, it scares me! But it's also so wonderful!!! It's so wonderful to think that there might always be wonder in the world! I wish I could express this to people. I wish I could take people by the hands and say stop! Stop clinging to what you think is true just because it's neat and orderly! The world is chaos! The world will always be chaos! But isn't it beautiful???
