Searching
That is the point VoR.....we DON'T know. And I am happy to admit we don't know. That in no way takes away from the search.
Quite the contrary, saying I don't know means I am willing to keep looking....with an open mind.
I have come to my own conclusion on what I think is likely, but because I can't prove it I am more than happy to continue to look at other options. Sometimes these other options reinforce what I think and other times they don't. Sometimes the ones that don't reinforce my theories end up making more sense based on other information I have looked into. And then my opinion changes.
Isn't it more likely that once you have the answer. Once you KNOW the truth you will stop looking? Why would you keep looking once you have found it?
It's a bad cliche', but it really makes sense "Life is a journey not a destination"
To me existance should be explored, enjoyed, lived in. I am constantly astounded by what is out there. If I had stopped searching at God, or at science, or at any one point I would have completely missed out on so much more.
I have seen so many people that are so adamant that their answer is the ONLY answer. They try to push it on others. They yell, they scream, they die for it and they kill for it. I've taken the time to really look at some of these people. To look into their eyes and you know I see for the most part? Fear. Fear that they might be wrong. Fear that someone else might be right. I've often felt that religious wars (for example) are less about being right, and more about making sure you can't be proved wrong.
I've never understood the need for an answer to existance. There are too many possibilities. Infinite possibilities. And I'll be damned if I'm going to stop trying to look at them all.
