“Reason, my dear fellow, is the most naïve of all superstitions. That, at least, has been generally conceded in our age. You suffer from the popular delusion of believing that things can be understood. You do not grasp the fact that the universe is a solid contradiction.”
“A contradiction of what?”
“Of itself.”
“How … how’s that?”
“The duty of thinkers is not to explain, but to demonstrate that nothing can be explained. The purpose of philosophy is not to seek knowledge, but to prove that knowledge is impossible to man.”
“But when we prove it, what’s going to be left?”

“Instinct.”

When we see the Power as the One that grants our every (apparent) need, we will never get out of the dead end. The cul-de-sac in seeking for the Help.
How about stop asking for (apparent) assistance to fill the loopholes resulting from our incapacity, and instead thanking the Power for forming us as unfinished capacity?
Not finished, as we cannot fool around feigning we are not too small for the vast universe, but not incapacity either, for many of us have seen how the Power has allowed us to see many complexities offered by the universe and our own kind.
