What do I believe?

  • Sep. 4th, 2009 at 10:18 PM
I believe that everyone has the right to believe whatever they want to.

I believe that everyone has the right to live in a world that is as free from fear, oppression, suffering and misery as is humanly possible.

I believe that everyone has at least a little bit of good in them, just by being human, whether they're rich or poor, powerful or not, no matter how many people may say they are totally evil.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to think for themselves, and should do so as often as possible, because I believe that things we call 'evil' and 'bad' arise mostly from unthinkingness.

I believe that absolutes exist only in the imagination - this applies especially to moral absolutes.

I believe that everyone likes to think in absolutes, because it makes things simpler to understand, which is why we have such trouble understanding the world.

I believe that everything humans do and say is true - even lies and deceit, because even falsehoods must be based on a truth of some kind.

I believe that everyone's beliefs are, eventually, contradictory, because reality is strange like that.

I believe that, at some point in my future, most likely several points, I will believe everything here to be utter bullshit - and then I'll recover and keep going.

I believe that everyone has the right to be wrong.
