There are 3 things which we need to understand in life — what is real (or true), what is right, and what is relevant.

Seek The `Truth`

While many of us are seeking the `truth`, the picture is hardly complete. Therein, it is inconclusive to say what is real or true. Humans are constructed reality sampling machines. Hence, the truth is not privileged to mortals who cannot sample the entire objective reality, and we can’t change that with our sampled and distorted or even malformed opinions either, but we do generate events as part of the organic machines of ‘Natur’. Therein, the humans are confused, but the universe is not.

You Don’t Have A Process, You Have A Dogma
A group of people coming together to enforce belief should not be mistaken as any form of ‘study’ to which is an enforcement of ‘knowledge’. If a minority group were to believe in a matter of extraordinary, they term it as a conspiracy theory. If the group is large enough, they called it a religion.

The human is also a flawed organic machine. They are a creature of preferences and imprinting behavior. Many a times, they follow their impulses and termed their `version of truth` as `following the heart`. “This does not seem right” or “This does not sound right” or “This does not feel right” does not mean it is wrong. It only means the person should recheck the notion of using the sense of familiarity as a flimsy, faulty gauge of the `truth`. Seeking a more complete reality of the situation should be a process of finding out and discussing on a co-work on what is correct, instead of burning the time and energy on a derailed debate contest of who is correct. To seek a more complete version of the situation or get closer to the “truth” should be claimed by the sincere and assiduous effort to mine for soundness, correctness, and sufficiency if not completeness. It is unfortunate that most people are not looking for validation of the facts. They are looking for validation of themselves.

We derive at the same logic. The word ‘opinion’ is becoming symbolic. I won’t want…
