If I try to answer this question all I do is simply interpretation. My interpretation is based on thought and the fact that what I call my thought is my memories, the memories of experiences or learning are the software of my mind.
Now I have answers of God, the universe, life and death.
But essentially they are uninterpretable. How can we interpret the meaning of this universe? Biologically we can dissect the body into parts and make interpretations of them based on the functionality of the parts of the body. But we can answer in part not in whole.
God is an interpretation of us based on what we read in theology and what we learned from elders, Gurus or from books. And our interpretations are rooted in this confinements of these sources.
Man is gifted with the privilege of thinking. Our thinking capacities, patterns and styles transcend limits set for animals.
We see a flower and we are not content with observing the beauty of the flower, and we try to interpret it and we want to compare it and infer our ideas of it.
God, life and the universe are domains that are beyond reach of our interpretations.
Man suffers and is stressed because we believe in interpretations. Rather than enjoying in natural phenomena instinctively we become interpretive and lose the joy.
Man has drafted theology, invented religions to interpret these unknowable entities and as a result the very interpretations stand as barriers and barricades and often instigate us to do something horrendous. Fanaticism, fundamentalism spring from such interpretations.
Can not we live without trying to interpret and in coexistence.
