i know that i, should be brave.
even pretty can be seen by the blind.

so subtle yet so clear.

Pondering over Pascal's wager.

Because as human beings, we always want the better half. Especially if we can never know the end. We make choices according to what we feel will leave us better off. It is not hard-wired to our system to take the shorter end of the stick. Because even when we do, we do it for our dignity, to achieve a sense of heroism that we can pride ourselves with. We love it when people put us upon a pedestal, it gives us the butterflies.

Pessimistic, no?

The question thus is, does chivalry really exist? But can we really know?

Just like, does God exist? They are all ideas that can never be proven, though some may disagree.

So why wager against the possibility of heaven, and eternal happiness? To answer Pascal, because as the Bible says of those who are sitting on the fence are as good as those who choose not to believe. So essentially without true faith, u can never enter paradise.

"You spend your whole life looking for the truth, but sometimes the truth just sucks."

But truth based on perceptions rather than facts are not really truth, are they?

There is no one truth.
