The reason for the emergence of mathematics

A very very, or maybe not so very long time ago, beings evolved the ability to engage in rational discourse. Language was one of the key elements of this ability, language was a necessary  condition for this to be possible. With the possibility of contemplation, an ever increasing range of questions started to originate in the mind of these evolved beings. This constantly growing nexus of unanswered questions started to erode the still minds of these rational thinkers. After many centuries or even millenniums  of engaging in this rational discourse, the obvious fact that there was no absolute truth, no certain knowledge to answer the questions that originated from this discourse, started to change the still minds of these beings into a stormy ocean and the feeling that came with it became unbearable. So instead of finding peace in the storm by letting the waves carry them to the shore, they invented something that could be called certainty or absolute knowledge, namely mathematics. Now all the uneasy souls could engage in this sphere of security, finding peace inside a system of certainty, a certainty confined in the system itself. And since then beings have found their still shore inside this system of certainties, and by fear neglected any opportunity to look outside the system into the truth.
