Bonus Post — How Can We Argue?

Having lunch in a field one day, I troubled an ant with a question. I asked of him humbly, “Have you ever been to Paris?”

And he replied, “No, but I wouldn’t mind going.” And then he asked me if I had ever been to a famous ant city. And I regretted that I hadn’t, and was quick to add, “I wouldn’t mind too.”

This led to a conclusion: There is life that we don’t know of. How aware are we of all the consciousness in the Universe?

What percent of space is this earth in the infinite realm? What percent of time is one second in eternity?

Less than that is our knowledge of God. How then can we ever argue about him?  — Meister Eckhart.
