Belief and Truth

It is said that 95% of humans believe there's existence of super-natural spirits, in whatever forms.

However, in my book, belief does not equal to truth. And humans have been seeking for the truth before humans, yet still we cannot get an answer.

But just assuming, do we really need the truth? Do we really need an answer? What if the truth, the answer is just totally opposite to our belief? and what if there're more than one answer? Some of us will be content, some of us will be desperate. Or the worst of all, all of us.

And then, do you still want an answer, like a pin to burst your bubble, like the darkness to cover your eyes, like a nightmare to replace your sweet dream?

Let's say the answer is 50-50. If you are still struggling to say yes, then how to go on your life, after you find out what you had believed in the past cannot stand on its feet? Can you swiftly reshuffle your brain layers and accept the truth to be your new belief?

Let's say another 50-50 in the previous 50 with a Y. Then if no here, you will soon collide since you have nothing to rely on; if yes, well, you are not a believer but a confused truth goer, since you have never found your own point.

As I said before, two important things in human nature is doubtness, or skepticalism and regret. It explains all. Life itself is contradiction. We persue truth and we are fear of truth, we have our own belief but it can be fragile facing the truth.

But no matter what the truth is, what our belief is, we have tried, are trying, and will try.

Thus we all have the same goal, we all appreciate the process of persuing truth and sticking to our belief, we are all seekers with a strong mind, even people like me who is result-oriented cannot deny that and see the beauty of this power and courage.

What comforts me is, that we all believe we are unique and independent, the truth is, we are not alone.

I have asked myself questions about Belief & Truth when watching Matrix. Today all above come to me while watching Contact.

I think, I have an answer and luckily it is positive.
