Who's minding the store?

The objectifying mind of man can accomplish many wonderous things.It can build dams, roads and machines that fly to the moon.
But it stumbles in confusion when it mistakes it's own labels for reality.It enters a dream-world shadowland when it blends it's own labels for things that have an actual, material counterpart (rocks and rainbows) with those things with no physicality ( truth and justice).
It lives in a world composed only of adjectives.It thinks that it can arrange it's concepts in neat little rows and build a ladder to what it calls reality.It never dawns that, so far, no one has been able to do that.
