we STILL haven't figured this out yet!

This might be a little more abstract than i would've hoped but i still can't believe that we haven't found a way to be happy and at peace not just with ourselves but with the world. There is so much violence everywhere that we turn and it's not the most difficult thing in the world to rid ourselves of that. If adults learned to see things from a maybe immature perspective, then decision making would be easier. Kids for example, live in bliss and happiness. Something by which we all aspire to live but we make our lives a lot more difficult than they have to be. We cause our own problems and we find it easier to blame others or turn to others with our anger. Kids could literally have a physical fight and two minutes later will be the best of friends. I think that what we really haven't figured out is embracing every part within us. Maybe it's not about ridding ourselves of the parts we don't like but instead learning to accept them and perhaps embrace them to have a different outcome, and maybe, just maybe, we'll be happy.

how do i know what i know if i know anything at all?

Throughout the years, people have depended on science and facts to be sure of what it is that is truly known. Others rely on, ironically, the unknown to explain what it is that is true. Allow me to explain. Obviously when it comes to science we've pretty much grown accustomed to believing that such things are true because all of the facts seem to ass up and knowing that gives us a sense of comfort. Others rely on things such as religion. Things that are thought to be true but can never me proved. And that's what it's all about. If it can be proved then it's true. Why is it this way? Science. Basically i stand with the fact that we all know what we know thanks to the facts, or at least what we believe to be facts. Then again it thanks to the fact that society believes these facts. So technically, society is the root of how we know what we know. Not just in the sense of knowing how it is that the world works but society also helps us form ourselves throughout the years. Like Siddhartha we could choose to leave but, essentially, society was the root of that.
