Wonder just how expansive a catalogue of insights into the true nature of our human condition - though grasped only momentarily and inarticulable perhaps - is in reality represented by the oft cathartic exclamation, “ - It’s a funny old world!”?

Socrates believed - quaintly or idealistically? -- that at a subliminal level human beings in fact contain an understanding of all things and that, in the case of individual ignorance, personal experience alone - whose roll he thought analagous to that of a ‘mid-wife’ cathartically bringing forth conscious revelation of things already intimated - was in practice all that was wanting!
