The quest for answers has propelled us into exploration, science, and technological advancements that have dragged the prehistoric humans from caves into offices. We know more about the environment and the history of terrestrial life than ever before. And with a manned mission to a neighboring planet in the near future, we are ready to enter new territory.

But despite a vast and growing understanding of the cosmos, there are still so many things that we don’t have a clue about. Things like the existence of God and the secrets that hide in the endless blackness that surrounds us. Who are we? Who started this? Why are we here? Do we, perhaps, live in a simulation? Like many things that we simply don’t know, questions like these irritate people, as human beings tend to be restless in the face of chaos.

For some reason, we must have answers, and if we don’t, we’re willing to construct them ourselves, often based on very simplistic, incomplete ideas, or even downright nonsense. Thus we’re willing to commit philosophical suicide, just to get one more riddle out of the way. There are even wars fought, in which people die to defend their ideas, which makes it seem that, for humans, a light in the darkness of mystery is worth dying for.

Humans are on an ongoing crusade for truth, a holy war against the unknown, in pursuit of unraveling the mysteries of life. Unfortunately for us, 'mystery' will always prevail, and any attempt to understand everything will leave us confused. But what if we are okay with mystery? What if we accept, and even appreciate, that for the most part, existence will remain a mystery to us? What if we trust the unknown instead of fearing it? This video explores the beauty of what we just don’t know (philosophy of trust).
