Mysteries are mysterious. Their mysterious quality comes from their unknowability. A mystery stops being a mystery if it could be solved at all. Mysteries are alluring and even seductive because of their mysterious unknowability. A proper relationship with something mysterious is to be marvel at it. On the other hand, puzzles are set up to be solved. To engage with a puzzle is to solve it. An unsolved puzzle stands in front of us as obstacles to overcome, a path not yet fully walked. It is a work in progress. Puzzles are to mastered. [[John Vervaeke]] uses this distinction to show the difference in attitude we hold towards the sacred unknown world and secular scientific world.[^1] He argues that beauty exist only as mysterious. A puzzle-like world has no beauty. Beauty cannot be seen by the eyes of beholders who do not receive the mysterious. [^1]: [[PA The Primacy of Beauty]]
