The End of the Road

I entered this class not knowing what to expect, and I leave it still not knowing what to expect, but now I am not only ok with not knowing everything, but I welcome it. This class, through its numerous discussions, debates, and experiments, has made me welcome a challege. It's easy to sit down and be told what the brain does and what to make of it, but that isn't fair to do when there is so much that is still unknown, and some things that will probably never be known. We can get closer to the "truth," which is an ideal that wavers from person to person, changeable and subjective, but we can never really touch it. While this can, and will, bother many people, I am left reassured by it, knowing that everything is subjective, everything is mutable, and all we can do in reaction to it is simply strive for our personal truths.
