Honestly, we know nothing.

I am a strong pursuer in the betterment of myself and my surroundings. I am obsessed with being the best I can possibly be. On my search for perfection, I have found some truly extraordinary things. First off, our perception of reality is warped. We trust the information that has been passed onto us and we accept it fully as correct. Whether this be out of laziness or ignorance or social acceptance, it doesn't matter. We still accept it. Why don't we fly off the planet? Oh, because of Einstein's laws of gravity. But we can't prove gravity. It's just a theory. Do you personally know? No, of course not. It's an absolute mystery. One more thing, did you know that there are people in this world that believe the Earth is hollow and made up of columns that lead to a hidden society underground? We can't even prove them wrong because we haven't gone to the center of the Earth before. We just disregard this as insanity because our "laws" tell us that the Earth is made up of molten lava that circulates, which creates a suction, if you will, that creates Earth's gravitational pull. Throughout history, we have tried to logically explain all of Earth's mysteries without really knowing what we're talking about. Life cannot be logically explained. If our brains have come up with some type of answer for life that makes sense to us, it's probably incorrect. Our brains cannot process the magnitude of life. Just as we cannot fathom the depths of the universe. It's like a 5 year old trying to understand what it's like to be 90 years old. They can't. They can see a 90 year old, talk to them, know them, even try to be like them. But they will never truly understand what it's like until they are 90 years old. This post has really no point other than to make you question what you accept and believe without reason. If you believe in something, and truly believe in it, you better have a good reason to do so or else it can be easily manipulated. Our beliefs are incredibly strong and important. Just know why you believe in something. It will strengthen your soul to know why you commit yourself to ideas or others beliefs. Don't just think. The only difference between knowledge and wisdom is that wisdom is just applied knowledge. Wisdom is knowledge in action. Be careful with what you have faith in.
