With each major discovery, a realignment eventually must happen. The past is seen wholly different and the future of earlier prognostications must evolve. The present is no longer static, if it ever was such a thing. Reality, existence, being changes. Former conceptions of reality are ghosts, frauds, or well intentioned misconceptions. Discovery disproves reality.

I’d try to have both types of happiness, reason and no reason, just to be safe.
Friendship is the only cure for hatred, the only guarantee of peace.
Gautama Buddha (via leafeaterx)
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucious (via leafeaterx)
