Thinking about spiritual principles is one of the joys of life! You can overthink a recipe, but you can't overthink what you truly believe and think and feel about the world. We should always be exploring it.
Anyone who sincerely believes after viewing only the observable universe, an ex ray of a human brain or the skills of a spider, that they have superior intellect, are greatly exaggerating their abilities. There is not a brain on this planet that can make that brag compared to other "inventions" or "creations" we observe. If "God gave you superior intellect" I would think the prudent thing would be to ask him what he expects you to do with it.
I believe this has already been done and recorded with King Solomon in the Bible. Now that's an example of where things can go horribly wrong with the wrong thinking after being given "wisdom".
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
