Because existence is a field of such infinite, multiple dimensionality, we can never know it completely or define it precisely. When we attempt to define it, we limit it. In limiting it, we no longer fully understand it. We no longer know it.

~

If we try to pinpoint exactly where an electron is, we grab onto that electron and limit it as being in a specific spatial location. However, when we grab onto it and say “There’s the electron,” its grandeur collapses down to a point. Prior to our defining it, it was something different.

~

Our attempt to know, to grab onto, to define, is exactly what limits. This leads us to a paradox.

The only real way to understand something is if we don’t try to know.
