No Proof

There is a quite interesting word: "proof". One definition could be, "evidence establishing a fact". This is what we would all like to have in as many instances as possible. We don't like doubt. We don't like to have to keep wondering if something is really true, especially if it's something we are very interested in. If we can't see electricity, it's OK because - although we don't know what it actually is - we can see the results of its existence. But if we take non-physical matters into consideration, the situation becomes a little more puzzling. Topics such as God, faith, ethics, the paranormal, even aliens - cannot be 'proved'. You cannot demonstrate or establish what they are or if they even exist. They are mere ideas that the mind likes to elaborate, feelings that human beings think and talk about. If some people say they had real "experiences", it's still something personal, therefore it cannot be considered an undeniable truth. Anyway ... lucky them!
