We are Alive.
We are Scientists.
Just as a scientist will walk into his laboratory with the intent to experiment with constants and variables in order to draw conclusions to believe in about science; we, on a daily basis, walk through our lives experimenting with constants and variables to draw conclusions to believe in about life itself.
As a scientist, one's job revolves around building on established truths, beliefs, and scientific law in order to discover things unknown, and take ideas from the category of "Idea" or "Theory" and transition them into the category of "Scientific Law"; As people, we are both blessed with the opportunity and burdened with the task to establish our own set of beliefs about this condition that we have "that distinguishes [us as] organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms"
What a task!
...how does one ever decide what to and not to believe in?
Especially in a day in age when we as a generation are systematically ripping apart and tearing down the religions and the systems of moral conduct that have been established, practiced, and believed in for hundreds and hundreds of years of human life.
Our generation as a whole is very good at telling you what exactly it does NOT believe in, but let's detach ourselves from negative space from a second, what DO we believe in?
...and if we cannot answer that, how do we find the answers?
Let us learn from the scientific method, we establish beliefs only through repeated experimentation. We must experiment with the variables of our own lives in order to find out, subjectively, what habits are conducive to maintaining personal balance.
This blog is an expression of my own perspective on my own personal findings.
Welcome to This LIFE Experiment.
