I Did Not Mean to Denigrate Other's Beliefs or Actions

Between what I have observed traveling around the world, and what I have been told through history, I have come to the conclusion that there are only a few real truths.

There is only one world. The divisions and distinctions that we have imposed upon it, and continue to impose, in terms of countries, territories, kingdoms, are arbitrary and ever changing.

The similarities of people though out the world are so strong that they make the differences immaterial. One of the strongest of which is the temporary nature of everyone's stay on this planet earth.

Right and wrong are relative not absolute. Throughout time and among various peoples at any time there exist a broad spectrum of beliefs and ideologies. The validity and goodness or badness of which are always relative to the individual reaching the conclusion.

There are no solutions to problems because there are no problems. Problems too, are relative. They have always been with us and given mankind's current perspective on achieving contentment there is no way in which that will not be the case.

We did not create the world, nor did we create our selves. The idea that we can improve life is truly the greatest hubris and biggest lie.

Given what politicians claim they want to do and can do it seems ridiculous to take any of it seriously.

When I see people who are not satisfied promising to bring me satisfaction I find it impossible to believe.
