It's what set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom, the ability to ponder and imagine... Without that ability we probably would have died off as a species. But I'm just alluding the "root" of this belief, its gets much deeper into a convoluted cesspool filled with the worst of human attributes leading to the wickedest of atrocities committed by our fellow man upon our own human race.
I appreciate the way you approached me on some "maybe" type suggestions to do the knowledge, instead of just assuming I'm ignorant. But I've been doing the knowledge for about 9 years now, my quest for knowledge will never be over. In fact, Wu-Tang's music is partially responsible for my own awakening. The words of the RZA in particular have influenced me to learn because when I was 15, 16 years old, I didn’t fully understand him so I wanted to know what he was talking about... So I took it upon my self to research the 5% Nation, various Chinese philosophies, etc. just so I could see where he was coming from. See, I was raised Catholic and believed myself to be Catholic, but then I realized I didn't choose this path, it was inherited... The time I was born, the region of the world I was from, the family I was born into would have all dictated what I would believe for the rest of my life. I have Wu-Tang to thank for digging that grave to wake me up, but I can't discount my history teacher Sifu who was actually the one who forced me to answer my claims of belief... When he was asking me questions that I couldn’t answer that got me wanting to learn more about what I supposedly "believed" in at that time. So ever since then, I've been on this quest for scientific, geologic, genetic, theological, philosophical knowledge... I know I left alot stuff out but you get the point... P.E.A.C.E.
