Not Everything Needs To Be Explained

Inquisitive types.

I got a lot of time for inquisitive types. Some people just go with the flow and not question things. They’re comfortable leaving things as they are – and that’s just fine with them.

The inquisitive types, however just need a few questions answered. The kind of questions that delve deeper into things and why things are that way and if things have been considered about the way things are. Those inquisitive types are not always pushy or obnoxious. In fact quite a lor of the time, the questioning is genuinely for clarity and the enhancement of the way things are. That’s why I’ve got a lot of time for those types.

Sometimes, however, no explanation is required for why things turn out the way they do. The quest for the explanation could detract from accepting those beneficial outcomes of the process. That quest for explanations could also be part of the expression of a control mentality, one that operates by having the explanation so that all future events of a similar kind can be reduced to what they know and can explain. It expresses a discomfort with mystery and worse still, it expresses an insecurity with living with accepting that not everything can be known and explained.

There’s a lot to be said about being inquisitive. There’s a lot to be said for the quest of knowledge and the breakthroughs they bring to life.

It is clear, though that not everything in life needs to be explained. In some cases, being thankful that things have worked is a better place to be than looking to explain eveything especially seeing as though the finite nature of man necessarily makes knowing everything impossible.
