               life,  and  the  nature  of  people,  it’s                But why is all that important ?
               equally  what  we  believe  about  the              Our conceptualisation of this world,

               light and darkness in our world and                 our  so-called  ultimate  truth,  is  the
               which  dominates,  it’s  simply  how                source of our smallest daily actions
               we  see  our  surrounding  world.                   and  the  culture  that  we  spread
               Henceforth,  it’s  according  to  our               around. It starts with the beginning

               perception,  to  that  belief,  that  we            of  each  day,  from  whether  we
               choose  how  to  behave  with  others               choose  to  say  to  others:  “Good
               and  it’s  according  to  our  own                  morning,  may  this  be  a  beautiful
               conceptualisation  of  the  “ultimate               day” or whether we choose to say:

               truth”  about  the  universe  and                   “Why do you have so much energy
               existence,  that  we  make  our  daily              early  in  the  morning  ?”,  it  equally
               decisions.  While  the  first  source  of           shows  in  the  memes  and  reels  we
               the  truth  that  would  usually  come              share  daily  on  our  social  media

               to mind, is “religion”, what we think               profiles,  we  now  unfortunately
               about  God  and  its  existence,  it’s              often  find  posts  like:  Someone:  I
               often      very     few     people      who         would like to talk to you please, me:
               sincerely ponder on that topic, very                No,  thank  you  dear,  I  don’t

               few  brave  and  truly  open-minded                 converse  with  others  anymore  »,
               people dedicate the necessary time                  such  posts  may  gather  reacts  on
               and  effort,  if  not  one’s  entire                the  internet  but  they  eventually
               lifetime, to reflect upon and search                spread a culture that decreases our

               into  the  different  religions  and  the           compassion  for  one  another  and
               various  conceptualisations  of  God                our       openness         to      healthy
               and its existence, to find eventually               conversations. When we ponder on
               their     strong,      well    researched           such  posts  or  harsh  words  said  in

               “Truth”,  rather  than  just  inherit  a            the     morning,       we      find     that
               certain  belief  or  decide  to  choose             eventually they stem from our idea
               whichever  suits  one’s  desires  most              of  what  «  the  ultimate  truth  »  is,
               or whichever satisfies one’s need to                they stem from our deep own belief

               belong  most.  Consequently,  in  our               about this universe and existence.
               contemporary  world  of  inherited
               beliefs,      we      find     that     “life
               experience” is another major source

               for many’s deep down beliefs/ idea
               of “That ultimate truth”, which is in
               this  author’s  opinion,  an  unreliable
               source,  for  how  can  one’s  simple

               singular  experience  explain  the
               mystic of the universe.                                                                         27
