We and everything else

One of the amazing aspects of human existence to me is that, I am convinced, very few of us and then very seldom are fully aware of things beyond what we consider our immediate environment and then even in that environment of all things in it. We do not even ask questions about it.

Then there are some of us who took it as their profession, their life's purpose, to in fact think about what most of us do not, to understand it, explain it, figure out what it is, where it came from, and where it's going. And even those curious people only have theories of it, parts of which may be proven, but the understanding of the whole thing is elusive and ever evolving.

Yet we all sort of mindlessly march through life, act, make decisions without realizing that what we carry in our consciousness is a very sparse description of what there is or may be. Moreover, we do this by happily assuming a very important role for us in it.

Does the question of existence have a definite, provable answer or is it one of those known unknowables? If it is, and I believe that indeed it is ultimately unknowable, then it should be quite okay to make all sorts of theories about it or none at all and live hopefully knowing that all that we know is just a description that somehow makes it worthwhile to continue living.

The question remains an interesting one, though.
