It says a lot. They have issues.

But you see, my wife works as a caretaker for them as a type of humans. And it is not that simple as you make it out. Further for "them" I am one of them. I have 4 diagnosis and one of them in the "heavy" end, but I am still overall content and sometimes happy.
For us, if you stabilize our surroundings and don't demand normalcy of us, that we can't do, we can still be happy.
So what is your level of knowledge for that field?

Eh... I don't understand.
A fanatic christian has issues. I don't understand the examples you wrote.

People who think they know the mysteries of life are deluded. That's it.

I fell from a completely different tree in life, yet I navigated myself to land in fertile lands. Far enough from were I started to fall that I can easily this "it works for me" as the same thing many smokers say (such, how many smokers will say they won't quit because then they'll put on weight and eat more and instead of killing their lungs they'll be killing their heart) to justify their habits. It works for me may work for an anti-vaxxer, but its failing our children by seeing diseases like measles make a comeback. Which means "it works for me" can be selfish and lead to consequences for others.

Probably a good many of them. We really aren't the only ones who can think in abstract, problem solve, has a sense of aesthetics, and it seems to reason that we aren't the only ones who can view an object and interpret it as approximately stunningly beautiful.

Well, skepticism as old school is fun to play with.
I'm 99 percent sure I have it all right, I leave the 1% so that I can still check. What humbles me is that I can't do anything about it. I can't share it, you have to discover it on your own. I can't enforce it or make you discover it you have your own individuality. So I can say that I know the truth but the truth didn't help me. However the search helped me to grow as a person and deal with some internal issues.

I don't follow you either
Which would be me. Ironically I do have it right, but I admit the statistical improbability involved.
Two clever people each explained to me that truth can have facets like a diamond. They were both female, so of course I didn't understand at the time. Now I do. Truth is like a higher dimensional shape, and we can only see projections of it.
Its analogous to the way I feel when driving through a suburb thinking about all the hundreds of thousand whom I can never know yet lead complete lives. I feel sooo tiny and so far away from them. Then I pay attention to my driving and forget about them. The big picture is too big.
I apologize for stacking several posts in a row. I dont intend to spam, but you people aren't posting quickly enough.
In the OP, you asked:
If "life's mysteries" are truly mysteries, they cannot be known. Nobody can have the truth of a mystery. If they do, it is no longer a mystery.
