Three Truths

Religion: I was born into a religious home, and so I was taught the religious ways and my lifestyle centered around religion. Because of this, religion was something that has remained as a truth to me, and I never really tried to question it, since I learned that questioning religion is bad. Because of this, I never dared to ask people around me about what was true about this religion, and what was really behind this religion. The Christian preachers told me that it was through faith that you believe, but I am a very skeptical person, so I do not take these things very well. Honestly I do not know what God is and I do not truly know of his existence-- I cannot bring forth substantial evidence. I cannot bring solid proof of my God’s existence, and even if I can bring proof that there is a god, it can be ANY god out there. Is the religion that I believe in really the TRUTH? Other religions also say that their way is the TRUTH, when in reality, there can be only one truth. So which one is it? Or are none of the religions true?

Reality: What really IS reality? Is the world we are breathing and living in truly reality? Or are we just part of the matrix? Is what we sense, feel, touch, and see really there? Or is this all part of the matrix? What if we aren’t living in a reality? I really honestly want to question the concept of reality. What is real? I have come to assume that reality is where I am living in right now, because this is what is real to me, because this is what I feel, see, touch, smell, hear, and such. Ever since I was young, everyone has told me that this is real. But sometimes I do wonder if a reality can be actually a dream, and vice versa. I think that reality is something no one can really grasp. No one can really see outside of this world and see if this really is reality or not. From this, I also don’t know if what I sense is really what is true, too. An example would be the eyes. The eyes are easily deceived, so what if the things we see aren’t really what they ought to be? What if the colour blue is red in reality?

Moral: Why are some things considered immoral and moral? Ever since I was a child, I believed that some things were moral while other things were immoral because I was taught that way. Ever since I was an infant, my parents taught me how to be a good girl. However, who set the morals and who says that those morals are true? What defines good and bad? What if a person was taught that there is nothing wrong with killing ever since that person was an infant? Then is he to blame for being the way he is? To the person, what he is doing might seem like a good and moral thing. But to us, who were raised differently, we look down on his behaviours and such. What really is moral?
