Knowing

We can only know things through analogies. We can know something only in relation to something else. What is X? X is like Y, etc. Absolute knowing seems impossible, since there is no analogy or something to compare it to or any reference point. This is where we enter the realm of paradox. Our inability to know something for what it is and not just in reference to something else. It is the reason for our failure to understand what is existence. Since existence cannot be compared or referenced to anything else. Non-existence is a meaningless concept when addressed to the totality of existence.
