16. greatest lesson you've learned in life?
(DISCLAIMER: I feel like rambling) Infinities can be summarized and explained to kids while the simplest of math musings can confound and perplex the most complex minds we have to offer - for over 300 years! (Fermat's Last Theorem) Mountains and stars can stir affection and inspiration within us while we turn, uninterested, from the torrents of social, ethical, and moral decay that undermine our daily relationships. Despite all of mankind's attempts to reconcile the world to us, we are and will always be incomplete without knowing who God is.
