Reality is not clear

What happens If I raise big doubts about Geniuses. Was it’s version the actual observation that tells us how life began. What If I question atheism. Because I doubt Geniuses accuracy must I then embrace an atheistic system that prematurely, I think, says there is no God. When I wonder about realities senseless and awful wars and suggest we human beings are like puppets dancing to influences we can't contain or control am I in danger of punishment for observing reality too honestly. What if I were to deny conventional patriotic rhetoric and instead of loving the nation that is my home above the rest of the world instead dare to love the whole world equally across borders. Then there are moments of honest reflection that I reluctantly question whether we are even in a good universe.

 

I think all of these observances are expressions of free thought. These observations, questions, anxieties can be posed without fear of unfair religious laws forbidding their posting here in Canada. These ideas are expressions of truth seeking.  I get the feeling nonetheless that “some people" are so uncomfortable hearing these ideas that their authoritarian impulses are busy reacting. I think miniature despots exist across borders in human nature in free and oppressive countries alike. To these miniature minds, in their sensitivity to honest questioning, they may be trying to come up with ways to silence me or even punish me for my contemplation. Why would they have this authoritarian like impulse to stifle the questions or truths that confront humanity.

 

This raises another point I’d like to make. Reality has never been clearly observable. The truth has never been obvious or even possible to entirely obtain. In life people need answers to build unique personalities with unique ideas and convictions. People not only aspire to be answerers of big questions but even before that development has barely started people are busy weighing in authoritatively on what the truth is. As a human being grows further, perhaps not even in the truth but in a developed articulated argument of truth, the further their argument goes to convince others the more inclined that individual is to teach others.

 

Yet these are illusions that the world is understood. It’s in human nature to aspire to be an expert. Listen to my words right now I’m aspiring to say something interesting and by doing it be an authority. Truth in this world is uncertain business.
