Mothers and education

 Two very important realities.


How important is education?  It is an extraordinary event for us to learn

or know somethings which we had no idea about, before.


And it does seem  that mothers are quite clearly the first educators.


And for many or most, love is the first bit of knowledge that mothers

are able to impart.  Could be the  most important lessons of our lives.

But at the least it does give us some foundation and the ability to know

more of such an important topic for us, today and most every day.

Puzzles

  It seems to me that one  activity which many people enjoy as well as participate in or engage with is puzzle solving.  Part of the enjoyment  in puzzle solving is the actual conclusion where all the pieces are in place. There is also a related area of culture like mystery novels and various kinds of mysteries in art and culture. The standard model in physics could also be viewed in that way. This may not be a particularly good analogy, but it seems like you could view all the problems in the world or at least most of the big ones as one giant puzzle.  And in this picture many people are working on arranging these pieces, trying to figure out the patterns which might suggest how to orient or position a given piece.  Sometimes we have more than one group or individuals which are trying to place  a particular piece into place, but it seems like these efforts often contradict  each other, creating sometimes a lot of frustrations, and other difficult...

Belief, faith, and meaning

  Well, these three concepts are obviously closely connected, but yet you can possibly make distinctions between them.  The first two are of course clearly related and you may even think of faith as a container for some beliefs.  The exact nature of what that container might be or how you might comprehend it, of course, is, kind of, what faith is all about. But talking about belief by itself, it seems pretty clear to me that what you actually do, at any given time is somehow connected to what you might believe, which is kind of handy and convenient, because you can, kind of, figure out , more or less , what you do believe by what you in fact do, and then, may have some clearer understandings about what you belief , which can also help you navigate some of the actions or activities you engage with. Without going to much more into the subject of  faith, then, it is clear that meaning has a lot to do with belief, on account of how we perceive things , will indeed effect...

Okay, on space and time

  Well, it's a lot easier to think about if you just call it a manifold, which is not exactly super simple, but makes it a little easier to think about in terms of how " real " it is. So, this is motivated by article which I did not read, about how real is space and time. In mathematics, of course, this stuff is really real, because without it you can get absolutely nowhere.  But , let us not get too hung up with the math. Now, on a day to day basis of course we have " time " or we don't have any " time ". So, I would have to imagine for your average person, it's pretty darnn real, as of course is space, because, we are always involved with translations, meaning going from one place to another, and also, we put other stuff in spaces.  Now whether you want to believe that the stuff, you are using to jam into the space, is also space, I figure, that's all up to you and what makes you most comfortable. So, I am not going to get into an extende...
