Thank you for bringing important conversations to steemit... Not that there is anything wrong with the Kardashians....
What we are looking for (generally) is 'ease' or to end a state of 'suffering' - so we search (an action of the mind) for the knowledge that will put us in a space of ease - - but mind will never get you to a state of ease . Science, religion and Philosophy are all mental concepts arising within awareness.
Who is the witness of ideas and concepts?
You were saying some of this already - just adding a little twist :)
Oh yes, but what is a mind to do, being the restless beast that it is :)
In the words of Nietzsche (and this is one of my favourite quotes of all time):
“Here the ways of men divide. If you wish to strive for peace of soul and happiness, then believe; if you wish to be a disciple of truth, then inquire.”
