There is a joy in revelation and order. Solving a difficult problem in school, realizing truths about the people we love, finding out new things about ourselves- all these things bring a sense of togetherness to our lives. As humans, we seek to put the chaos of the world around us in order- that order often brings harmony and peace. It's why many of us compulsively organize our closets and color code our sock drawers, it's why we make schedules and itineraries, it's why we keep up on current events and politics- to gain new knowledge, new enlightenment, new harmony, new purpose.
