Yes, knowledge can’t be automatic,
We can realise that we pick up along the way!
Our senses teach us, may be, even the idiosyncracies
and our follies. Everything seems like scientific reasoning, does it not?
I can see a child at play, learning to even love,
As if love was just a mere sensation? Kant? Or emotion,
for that matter? Do you think we start with no knowledge at all?
How come, even a child identifies a dog as a dog,
even with the vast dissimilarities in appearance
between one breed of dog and another?
Do our preferences, loyalties and allegiances
emerge only through senses triggering them, then understanding,
and finally, reason? Do we have reason to believe
that all our paranormalities and supernaturalism existing
from the beginning of humanity, a degeneration
of mental faculties into delusions? Was there any
reason in them? Was there any reason in constructing
Gobelki Tepi, Giza and Macchu Picchu? Is there any
logic in tangibilising the non-corporeal? Is anything reverent beyond
reasoning? Is the imposing institution of religion
based on reasoning? Is mythology, a reasoning?
Are the authors of fiction, reasoning? Is the speedy
trajectory into the singularity propagated by AI,
a reasoning, or a failure to reason out the consequences?
Do we need to teach children fairy tales and
puerile children’s rhymes for a reason? Is the existence
of subconscious mind that understands symbolism, allegory
and the reading between the lines, reasoning? What is
the hard fact of reason? Is cause and effect a reason?
What is reasoning? Can we make reasoning so universally
generic that it encompasses all knowledge, even of the
unknown, for your convenience, Kant? Did you go to your grave
with your belief and learn of its failure in the spiritual realm,
(particularly, the fallacy of your materialist ideology)
that you briefly returned to, before you reincarnated again,
to understand reason and its limitations?
Is instinct based on reason? Is Life, itself, and its
beginning and eventuality, based on reason? Does the perennial occlusion
of truth, by civilisation and its conventionalities be based
on understanding and reasoning? Is necessity rather than truth
a convenient reasoning? Do the bravehearts who were tortured,
murdered and burnt at the stake silly, stupid, foolish ignoramuses
in their reasoning? Is belief a reason? Is conviction based on reason?
Is faith (any kind of it, a reason). Is the selflessness
of some based on reasoning? Is connection with soul based on reason?
Are the global or gubernatorial institutions that mete out
their version of law, order, and justice based on propitious reasoning? Is historic
injustice based on reasoning? Is intuition a reasoning? Is spirituality
based on reason? Is the existence of the macrocosomal universe and the microcosmal cell
based on reasoning? Is God a reason?
And is the yearning for God’s ultimate justice a reasoning?
