Ok! Thanks for your answer!
Quoting: MaybeTrollingU You are welcome. I notice you seem to be focusing on those replies you feel are somehow "inadequate," yet you jumped over the single response so far that met your "challenge" head on. Once you strip away the that which is not true, what is left? I am. What are your thoughts on this, since you said you wanted a friendly discussion? Sure thing! Life is what you made of it. It is full of happy, joy, fulfillment, hopes and dreams. Some of your dreams and expectations will be achieved, some will not. Some of your hopes will fade, happiness don't last forever and joy can become boring. Life can suck sometimes. You'll feel depressed, impotent, frustrated, mad, angry, sad, defeated and many other "down" feelings. To cope with that is what makes you thrive or succumb. Humans are obsessed for answering questions. "I don't know" is not enough for most people. Religion offers easy, packed and ready to consume answers to all your problems. Notice, I said RELIGION. To me, religion is a mechanism to cope with the frustration of being ignorant. So people get attached to religion for easy, ready to go answers for problems. But this creates another problem, reality is not even close to what religion describes, I mean the scientific know reality. We know now much more than we did a thousand years ago, religion became irrelevant. This is way too hard for most people to accept, because they made their lives around religion. Ok. But may I ask what is in your answer that is different from what others who you see as leaning on easy, ready to go answers? Is there anything in your answer that is no less pre-digested, as it were? You equate reality with the scientifically known reality. But is this reliable? Yes, we know much more than a thousand years ago, but we also know much more than a thousand months ago, or even a thousand weeks ago. So did your reality change along with it? Is it too hard for you to accept that that which you call reality is ever-changing and therefore cannot be reliably said to be reality at all? In short, what is it that you can reliably know to be true if all else is a lie? My appologies! I understand your question as in a more philosophical way. This could extend to the "egocentric predicament". This could go VERY long and deep, so I would rather talk about it in a more physical manner. I consider things using a logical and/or scientific approach. To me, "real" is that I have evidence for.
