Mike: Beliefs are all we have.


But you gotta admit, they're a lot of fun. A truth is fun too until
somebody capitalizes its "t." .

Yet if I say, "The mystery of existence is truth," I have stated a
belief that is a truth ... a truth whose precondition is that it cannot
be proved.

"If you believe it," you might say.

"But I don't have to believe it," I could counter. "I don't have to
believe in the mystery of existence. I either notice it or don't."
