Question

How do you know if what you believe in is the truth?

Answer

You cant. We cannot know whether what we see as reality is really that maybe it is just a fantasy, a dream, and there is no reality. What we can do is have an opinion based on what we know at the time. I believe we can decide what we think is most likely but remain open minded. People who are dogmatic about things and think that they have found the whole truth are dangerous. Most of what we see as the truth is likely to be part of the story but not all of it.

As you state, your question does not directly apply to my existence, rather to yours.brSoooo...brHow am I to know if you exist? My inner skeptic says that I do not know as you do really exist...only that some sort of sentient being has posited a question here in this forum.brOnly you can truly arrive at an answer to the question of your own reality...Good Luck with that brbrquotA man said to the Universe quotSir, I exist...quot The Universe replied quotThat may be, but what obligation does that involve for me.quot Stephen Crane....forgive some almost certain error on my part in quoting that, as I am doing so from some very dusty memory and am sure that I didnt get it verbatim, only the gist of it.
