True or False

Why do we have fingerprints? I remember being taught that it was to improve our grip. It made sense, and it still does. It’s difficult to find any reasons to attempt to disprove that, when we all have the preconception that it is undoubtedly true.

But is it?

Apparently not.

Which brings me to this point – how true are the things we thought were true?

Complacency happens, it’s just human nature. Wonderful things in life, things the more unfortunate people can only dream for, gets taken for granted. And when we do, we fail to question. Just because people tell us – it’s like that – doesn’t make it any truer than we telling ourselves – it’s not like that.

It’s not about science. Not everything can be proved or disproved through science. But what is certain is that when we do not question, truth is nothing more than prejudice. People have their own version of believes, people have their own justifications, people have their own truths.

Nobody is to blame, because nobody is at fault. Like how beauty is in the eye of the beholder, truths can be imprinted into one’s mind by one’s believes, and believes are never as simple as right or wrong.

Question – we may or may not find an answer which is not the same as what we want to believe. We may or not find the absolute truth. If there’s even such a thing.

But, question.

Sometimes, we do something in order to find out the reason for it. Our actions are questions, not answers. There are two sides to every question. And to every answer you find, begets two more questions.

Start questioning.
