some one told me how can i believe that the world is round if i have never seen it from space or how do i know we even bn to space. i told him i use common sense. he said it was faith, i said look in a microscope and look at the satellites or the moon and sun to explain the likely hood of the earth being round. the guy was a fundamentalist.
the point is proof is subjective

Does the world go away when you close your eyes?

How on Earth does staring at a microscope or the sun prove the Earth is round?

at what point does everyone feel comfortable "knowing" something.
I feel comfortable in knowing that i can never truly know anything. I've also become comfortable in knowing that there are no original thoughts.I try my best to simply be as genuine as possible and to not compromise my personality in the company of others. No matter how intimidating or attractive their perspectives and presences may be. It's here that i usually find my peace and understanding. That, along with my first statement, is pretty much all i can ever know and i'm comfortable with that.
