**Every religious person nitpicks their holy books, and every educated atheist nitpicks their science books. People believe what they want. So it is. Perhaps thinking for yourself has pros and cons. The curious faith-seeker might read up on multiple religions and their sacred material. The deeper they go, the more uncertain they become, because every religion seems to believe they're the #1 way. Otherwise, why would it exist? The curious seeker of meaning might read up on a variety of sciences... physics, astrology, biology, thermodynamics, chemistry... craving that source at the end of the hallway but the hall gets longer by each step. Knowledge and wisdom are key, but the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know. Learn one concept, expose yourself to a branching off in ten more, each of those ten branching, so on and so on. True happiness comes to those who think less, thus ignorance is bliss. The stupid are joyful, the intelligent harder to please because of the anchor of logical skepticism. A very dark and lonely path for he who seeks meaning amidst the impossible.** - Image #3 <@218504853905735681>
