The reason I brought that up is because so much of what I thought I know was based on some one else’s "what if" and has never been proven.
Common sense isn't so common when you spend life being programmed with falsehood. Reason is a good word but it means so much more than what I think in my reprogrammed box.

Maybe only death will expose us to the truth? I am not sure death just might be a new level of what we have now. That being walking blindly though a dimly lit tunnel.
I would think that after the 1000s of years of human existence we would be much further along in knowledge and wisdom to progress all humans and our world.
Surely something is hidden from us that would break us free of the divisions that we have that are so minuscule compared to what we have in common.
