Wittgenstein says some mysteries aren’t meant to be solved
I’m off on my fellowship. By far the shortest of the suggested readings is from Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. We were asked to read 6.44, which reads
It is not how things are in the world that is mystical, but that it exists.
I find 6.432 more interesting:
How things are in the world is a matter of complete indifference for what is higher. God does not reveal himself in the world.
Also 6.52:
We feel that even when all possible scientific questions have been answered, the problems of life remain completely untouched. Of course there are then no questions left, and this itself is the answer.
