"..in the despair of knowing anything; nor, on the other side, question everything and disclaim all knowledge, because some things are not to be understood."
i think Locke is trying to state that no matter what we ask there are things you wont know. Basically like things that are just a certain way because they are. why is the sky actually blue? who controls the nuerons in the brain? he is saying things are better yet not figured out.

Some things are just there to be unanswered. I think it keeps everyone busy. You are always thinking, why did this happen, who actually thought of that and if we didn't have that to do, what else would we do? Scientists jobs are to find out what things are and if we already knew everything, what would they do? Life is just always going to be a mystery.
yeah pretty much.. it is all about how we are molded into a society that you develop in
People do question everything, but some things are not to be understood. In life we do question everything but we don't always get an answer.
