Acid Trip

Reading Pascal was essentially that which I've stated in my title. It was, however, enjoyable. Though I think "enjoyable" may be too delicate a term for such an experience. This may be one of my favourite philosophical readings yet. My worldview has been opened on so many levels, mainly because he finally helps me deal with many of the inconsistencies of every day life with which I struggle. Placing us somewhere in this cosmic map where we are minuscule giants is rather sobering. And the depth it adds to the understanding of truth and justice really caught me off guard. I'm not sure where to take it though. Pascal really gives us no true answers. And this is partly because in his opinion the only "truth" is that taken by faith. Which to most minds becomes subjective. But being able to say that in terms of justice or truth we can only know them partly, I find therein a weird peace. I am merely a gargantuan speck in the order of things. I would love to have answers. But they are not mine to have.
