I do hope you will
become a ponderer... these are the people who have
pulled humanity forward. Their inquiries, investigations, and insights are the core reasons for everything We consider "
modern."

That's unfortunate... you might be doing yourself (and the rest of us) a grave
disservice. You (your thinking) might well be the spark of the next great breakthrough in human progress.

Things
will be... regardless of what We do or don't do. That's the way it is.
Yet We human beings are
compelled by our very nature
to explore, examine, and explain the Universe that surrounds us. We can't help ourselves, in this regard.
We came into being for this
exact purpose.
It is our
duty, then, to encourage our children (and one another)
to ponder the makeup of things;
to play with the workings of Nature; and
to prepare a better place for our species to dwell and thrive.
