the relativity of truth
Isn't it weird how we're all always right to ourselves?
I was driving home, with lots of traffic, of course, and, well, i'll just draw a picture

I'm not allowed to go into the street and block traffic. So I stopped before the intersection. Apparently, this wasn't in coolguy's ideal plans. He honked. I didn't do anything. He honked twice. I didn't do anything. He honked longer. I smiled and started thinking about this. Anyway, in the whole 30 seconds it took for the light to change, he was obviously upset and giving me the "what the crap are you doing" look (you know, both hands off the steering wheel and up in the air).
I was just thinking. I know that I was right in that situation, but coolguy thought that he was right.
There are soo many times in life where people just won't accept that they could be wrong. We use our own skewed logic and uneducated minds to come to conclusions that can be wrong a lot of the time.
It's kinda like religion. So many people come up with their own ideas of whats going on; maybe take a few pages from different religions... but it comes down to: they create a view of the afterlife based on what they feel comfortable with.
Logically looking at religion, I start with the basics. What started everything? God. How do we know what God wants us to do? Read what He's said. Where can we find this stuff? In His word, a.k.a. The Bible.
Or maybe that's just my unchanging opinion. Just like coolguy.
