I loved Alexander Pope's "Essay on Man." I love his commentary on how we have become so arrogant that we believe we know better than God does. My favorite line from this epistle is "Say first, of God above, or Man below, what can we reason but from what we know." I love this idea of how we can only discuss things from the stand point of our experience. Only God has the full view from above, we have nowhere near the knowledge or experience to understand God's plan. Without this knowledge and experience, we can only have faith that God knows what He is doing, we simply cannot comprehend everything that He has in store for us.
