Alternative-World -- Plugging Holes?


The differences between this world and an alternative might/will be subtle. Do the answers then lie in the subtle differences? Then our world should not be completely scrapped should it? Is it merely a matter of filling in the holes, the small gaps, that we know exist but just write off as the remainder, or externalities (Even if we do seek the whole number, we never spend the time to re-calculate. We try and find other ways to patch down that remainder. So what # are we searching for, or what equation is it, or is it instead something like the Fibonacci number from which we get the golden spiral which can be seen in nature on a snail's back-->caracol).
Our problem lies within our question, What do we do? From this we realize that our problem is trying to fill in the holes directly. We do not first ask why there are holes. We instead conlude prematurely that "these holes are bad" and attempt to fill them. We even expend a lot of money & energy to fill them (our lives included), just as the little Dutch boy who stuck his finger in the dyke.... We must learn from this that plugging up the holes is wrong (or atleast what we are using is wrong). Shouldn't this be a sign that where we built was wrong and the problems will re-occur until we move and start-over. This starting over for most is scary. But why must it be? We will soon realize that this new path makes us content, no matter how barren it is, it is our path and that dignity will go a long way.
