In summary... I have constructed a personal philosophy by examining what I have believed ("knew") with what I observed from my own experience. I wanted to know what was real and true and to live my live according to that knowledge.
I came to the conclusion that REALITY is beyond my perception and comprehension, but I believe that it is very big, maybe infinite, very complex, and dynamic, always changing. I came to a similar conclusion about myself: I am finite, but very complex and dynamic. And that I am here, now.
I then concluded, after a lot of self-examination and the best observations and reasoning that I could do, that:
- I do not know...
- I neither speak the truth or hear the truth...
- I am not special; I am just like everyone else...
- I am wrong...
- I am not perfect; nothing is...
- In the long run, and in the big picture, it doesn't matter...
I know that my philosophy is shallow, I have not waded too far into the deep waters of philosophical debate. In fact I am aware that I have purposely stepped back from many difficult issues. I just am not that strong of a swimmer to get in over my head. This is what I have done.
This works for me.
