I Know of Love I Know

"onaji monno onaji kanjikata shiteru no aishiteru aishiteru aishiteru"
my own thing, my writings ... I know of love I know, love I know, love I know
-- 1/2 - Kawamoto Makoto, from Rurouni Kenshin: Best Theme Collection

That which is knowable is dear to each of us, for I know only a tiny part of the known world.

Everything that is unknown is not knowable due to the limitations of the human condition.

Thus I am not God, who alone knows everything.

Even the experiences of children are more than anyone older than 30 will ever know.

Therefore, the known world is limited by human limitations, and will always be a tiny part of the whole world.

Indeed, the total human knowledge today is quantifiable. If it were 1 percent of the world, then 99 percent of the world is indeed a mystery, and nearly unknown to me overall.

For there is far more that each of us does not know, and what I do know is insignificant in the face of the unknown.

What does this have to do with what I know of love that I know?

Only that my love is limited to what I know, for I cannot love what and who I do not know.

This also applies to the unknown and the mysteries of the human world.

The line beginning with "Even the experiences of children" refers to the following stanzas from What a Wonderful World:

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know

What a Wonderful Word is a song written by Bob Thiele (as "George Douglas") and George David Weiss.
