As humans, why do we have an inherent need to explain the unexplainable? I think all of us can attest to having a compulsive desire to uncover truth, even when it’s a.) not possible to attain or b.) completely irrelevant. So the question is why. Why do we have to always know everything? Why can’t we be satisfied with a silhouette of truth as we accept ignorance as a valid course of knowledge?
As a science student, the majority of my studies have involved learning “facts” about biological systems, mechanics, etc. These facts differ in subject and complexity, but the underlying similarity they all share is the ability to be proven. By the same token, a vast amount of conjectures have been presented to the scientific community by ambitious researchers. Extensive case studies must be done to validate or reject a theory before it can be accepted as a “fact”; however, can the aforementioned process be applied to all questions in life?
In a world where we ascribe quantities to everything, it’s common to venture into the realm of intangibles. For example, it’s easy to say that “I’m richer than him”, for one’s bank account balance could easily illustrate this claim. There are concrete measurements to ascertain one’s wealth, and this can be directly compared to another’s. However, how do we make similar claims about abstract traits like intelligence?
First of all, I want to congratulate my peers who graduated today! I’m so happy for each of you! 
While I was watching the commencement ceremony, I started to think… what is everyone going to do after today? Heck, I myself have found that taking so much time off has made me contract a severe case of boredom.
Let’s consider a scenario in which relatively mature, college malefolk is in a relationship with his female counterpart (ie, girlfriend). Let’s also assume that this boy’s very best friend is also a female. Heh, you probably know where I’m going with this topic.
