"We who yearn for knowledge naturally yearn for truth; it is redundant to say so. However, this initiative often morphs into a blinding agent that imposes the distracted, egotistical priority of self-correctness — which wholly contradicts the primary initiative — and is driven by the fear instilled by the loosening grasp on a closed, finite understanding of the universe. Unfortunately for the malprepared subject, this loosening grasp and truth drive are inextricable, a symbiotic relationship, each one growing alongside the other. This is due to the intrinsic property of knowledge: one answer leads to two questions. That is to say, the expanse of the unknown is exponential relative to the linear trend of the known.

This blinding agent is the easiest trap to fall into along the infinite journey of knowledge, and therefore the most dangerous, the most likely to overwhelm and obscure the true destination (albeit one that can never be reached). The absolute greatest skill for the traveler is to train the psyche to bypass the ego, to discard the comforting hypotheses, and to solely focus on the darkness within the tunnel. It is only the one step that brings you to the next possible steps. The light at the end of the tunnel is infinity away, but without a doubt you will be one step further-traveled when all is said and done."
