Take my hand

Vague questions besotted with difficulties

The strange infirmities of human understanding

The violence of affirmations, the obstinacy of belief

 

 The mitigated skepticism behind my actions;

                        The very circumstance which renders me innocent

                         Is what chiefly exposes me to the

                         public resentment and hatred?

                         The pains of inquiry! Oh! The pains of inquiry

                         Rejoicing to confine to very narrow bounds?

 

Renouncing all speculations within common life and practice

Aware of the supine indolence of the mind

Its rash arrogance, lofty pretensions, superstitious credulity

The disorderly passion of human mind; the pretense of reasoning

 

Friend’, do not turn from me

Take my hand; I am Harmless and innocent

Configured with natural affection and propensity

Please take my hand; I am loving and caring

I am …“THE LOVE OF TRUTH”

I am  THE LOVE OF WISDOM

Thanks Niel Aranda,its all about life in all,its all about our existence,its all about philosophy,and philosophy keeps questioning itself,seeing as it lays down helpless in the the hands of men who doesn't seek for wisdom,but however are pleased with the dogmatism of beliefs,thanks again.
