The Question of Belief

Some people believe anything, some doubt everything, others look for answers. Here are three interesting 'positions' of the human nature. There are people who need to be reassured about the meaning of their existence and beyond, so they are ready to accept whatever comforting perspective that makes them avoid any effort towards personal work. Thus dogmatic beliefs and cults flourish. On the other extreme, there are those who don't believe anything, unless they can see, touch and directly experience a proposed possibility or theory. They feel that all feats or concepts can be questioned, that not a thing can be taken for sure. Therefore no-thing can be actually fully believed. The third group includes people whose mindset pushes them to ask questions and try to find answers. They work towards solving the "puzzle". Sometimes they succeed in finding an acceptable, logical solution. Other times they don't, yet they keep on trying. Which category do you feel you belong: the blind believers, the skeptics/doubters or the 'inquirers'?
