If eternity doesn’t exist, then there really is no point to our lives. There, I said it. This is something I thought about as a high school student trying to make sense of the world around me. I remember thinking, well what they are teaching in schools is true, then what is the …
Consider the stars. What is more, consider your own consciousness in considering the stars. There is an invisible process going on when it comes to even you reading this post and understanding what the preceding two sentences mean. You understood what I said not as gibberish, (hopefully) but as logical. Yet, logic is …
In light of the new year, this is what ought to be resolved by us all: to determine what we believe and why we believe it. This seems so simple, right? Unfortunately, there are many who have no idea what they believe about the world, their existence, and so on; nor do they know why …
