Religion & responsibility…

Ever hear the proverb about the three blind men & the elephant?
-Three blind men were shown an elephant, & asked to describe it. The 1st felt it’s trunk & said it was like a snake. The 2nd felt it’s leg & said it was like a tree. The 3rd felt it’s tail & said it was like a thin rope.-

Each man described what he experienced, & was partially right.
This is an excellent metaphor for how I relate to religion. & possibly life in general.
What I, as one person, experience can hardly sum up the whole of life. It’s always good to remind yourself of how little you know in the grand scheme.
All things considered; How wise can one man be?
