One question: is something "true" because it is a common belief, or because 'you' believe it? You might like to try this: check one of the things that you say you are certain of and ask yourself where this certitude comes from. Is it something that others say they have experienced, or they have the proof of, or it's an ancient dictum...? What do 'you' actually know about it? What do you 'feel' about it? Does such belief make sense or does it simply make you comfortable? Or does it help you avoid thinking about it or trying to find an answer for yourself? Many a times you may prefer to relay on others to give you 'answers' because it's easier, it costs no effort. But...does this really fulfill your natural need to 'know'?
