What is -- is.

All we argue over is interpretation.

No matter what interpretation wins, the truth of this universe remains. It is human nature that has created the interpretation. We look at our societies and beliefs as though they are things separate from ourselves, but we made them, we were brought into them, and we can change them. But no change of interpretation will change the truth of what God is.

You can only interpret your way so far. You may interpret your way to happiness, but you cannot interpret your way out of this world, or interpret your way to truth. Truth is a feeling; a knowing; a method of living. It is satisfaction and peace -- but intellectually, it is undefinable. Worldly knowledge can never be certain, and so is not worth trusting.

In light that our world is our perception, we should begin looking at what form of society we can structure for ourselves that would make everyone happy. There is no other point to living than to be happy, and to be good to our fellow man -- for just as nature intended, a piece of the whole cannot truly be happy unless the entire whole is happy. For a thing to function in nature, all parts must be healthy and cooperative. Control and power is an illusion; those of influence, if they are not generous, will find themselves as empty and desolate as the selfish, greedy, and destitute. In the end, when we face death, it is with all we have done in our lives; not with all we have owned. And after we die, there is judgment, but not the judgment we have created for ourselves in this world. It is a judgment of ourselves -- of being encased in the love of this universe, and seeing for the first time ourselves through the eyes of pure, unfiltered love, and then we must face the wrongs we have done, both to ourselves and to others.
