1. What is truth?

Everything in this world is subjective and truth is no exception. All we know, which we
recognize as a truth or a fact is based on how man has derived its meaning years and years ago
based on experience, it's commonality and applicability to the collective perspective. Thence,
truth is an idea established by men as a base from different bases. In a simple sentence, truth is a
relative standard.
2. What is reality?
Personally, reality is what we think that we see; it is what we think we peceive. And what we
think we see is this world, everything, the systems that inhabit it; thus, reality is this world –
defined by what inhabits it. Philosophically, to me at least, reality is a common fact known to
everyone without knowledge, without formal education, and without influence from others. It is
a universal idea that exists in every human person.
3. What is the difference between living and being alive?
The two words both characterize the root word “live.” And the word “live” is founded by the
idea of life. So, to give meaning to the phrase “being alive,” the funadamental definition of life
can be attributed. Being alive means to simply exist with all your physical attributes – your
system of breathing which enables you to live and the like. On the other hand, living is a
figurative idea of being alive. Thus, living means to live by your purpose, not just to eat and do
all physical aspects. In short, being alive is being literal and living is being philosophical which
every man should discern to live by.
4. Is a “wrong” act okay if nobody ever knows about it?
This question could be ambiguous. Nevertheless, the simple answer would be “no, it's not
okay.” Explaining my answer would bring me to the concept of GMRC, good manners and right
conduct. Good manners means to act accordingly to make people around you comfortable and
right conduct is doing something proper even if there's no one to bear witness of what you're
doing. Therefore, a wrong act would never be okay regardless of the circumstances, whether
someone sees it or not, whether it is a white lie or not. As a Christian, I would not adhere to the
idea that ends shall justify the means nor the means shall justify the ends. I hold conviction to
the idea that right means justify right ends and not wrong means justfying right ends.
5. Is the family still relevant in the modern world? Why?
Regardless of the era that we are in, family would always be essential and relevent. Perhaps, we
just vary at some certain degrees; purposively because we all hold into human nature and family
is an essential factor or element of our human nature. Nonetheless, to go further, perhaps the
level or degree of relevance or attachment that we have with our families as we go further to a
technologically-developed world is decreasing unlike the common style or norm we, they, used
to have before. This may be explained through the evolution of our world systems; because of
the emergence of new things that challenge us instead of making our lives easy, development of
the emotional and social aspects specially to our families are being compromised. But
somewhere in our minds, we recognize the relevance of families in the modern world. Indeed,
our world is meant to change but the family which we've rooted from and have built the
essential foundations can never be irrelevant to us. They are just being neglected and prioritized
lesser than the instant joys and comforts that advancements could give humans.
6. What is infinity?
The word infinity can easily be associated with the words: forever, endless, cycle and unending;
and, through these words, the literal meaning of infinity can easily be understood. Thence, the
continuance of the answer would fall into the idea of something such as “infinity of something.”
But all to such extent, infinity is just a word made by man to explain or to name something – a
phenomena or an eventuation – which cannot be fathomed or explained by common human
understanding and is assumed to be irrelevant and would have no significant difference to the
main outcome.
7. How can people believe in truth without evidence?
Even before truth and evidence came to the understanding of men, the idea called human nature
existed first – our conscience existed first. And what is conscience? Conscience, accordingly, is
an inner voice which guides us to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior. From this
definition and from the word per se, the idea of faith can be attributed. We believe that such one
thing is a truth without evidence through faith which man can never perfectly articulate to
defend itself from all scientific ethics that defy the idea.
8. Who am I?
I have been dreading this question for a long time and has long been a dilemma for a teen like
me looking for answers and influenced by the popular culture. But on a Christian or merely a
believer's deduction from her recent experiences and realizations through her justifier, I am
nothing. Figuratively, we ought not to know ourselves nor question who we really are because
the answer has long been laid to us, that is, we are nothing. But if the catch phrase would be
“Who am I because of Christ,” the answer would be who Christ is and what he had done. Who
am I would then be a petty and absolutely weightless dust but through Christ's blood, was and
continues to be propitiatied and redeemed before God. (How I see and lay my convictions are
rooted from my dogmatic beliefs and values).
9. What is time?
Time, yet, again, is merely an idea that exists in the mind of men. It as a standard of measure, an
essential element that contributed to the development of patterns of world systems. It is a
backbone that supports to organization and management of the order of things. If by human
standards, men derived time and understood that it has an origin; then, time has an ending, it's
not infinite. Briefly, time is a deducted idea through science.
10. Does God exist, why?
A Christian, rather, a believer like me would easily say yes but at the same time, even if I wasn't
born a Christian, a Muslim or from whatever denomination, I would still have to say that God
exists. I would still be a theist – a believer of the existence of God. Regardless of my
background, of however faith has to do with it, my answer to the question “why” are these –
because of science and human nature. Indeed, science evolves eons by eons, day by day and it is
directed to understand the cosmos, the universe and everything that inhabits it but it continues
to be a failure and would always be as it is incapable of explaining the origin of everything it
studies – of atoms and cells – even thru the utilization of all its scientific methods. The life that
we have right now, the single strand of hair that we have in our heads which no man has ever been
able to replicate from nothing, they are enough to prove that there's such being more than humans who
can create all these and men called this being as “God.” Science, itself, is unknowingly proving
and supporting the idea of “God.” Furthermore, if we are to examine the lives of our uncivilized
folks, they believed in the existence of a supreme being and this idea can be proved by them
being animists or pagans. They worshipped mountains and the sun and the like because through
their human nature of understanding, the have recognized the idea of the existence of something
or someone higher than they do and it's not ignorance but it is a notion that is innate to every
human person. Added to these basic foundations is a leap of faith but regardless of faith, God
worked His way to prove His very existence, it was just up to human choice, human resistance,
human ignorance, human blindness, human stupidity and human foolishness that makes us
question an absolute fact that have always innately existed within us, at least. (And I dare not to
make people believe thru the words that I have said, but it's a conviction for those who want to
hear it and know more about it).
