When asked to define humans, human life, human position...?

I think the reason this happens to people is not through a deliberate attempt to mystify, but rather through an ignorant approach to explaining the world by using their own life as a model.

When looking to account for existence, for example, we are tempted to assume things exist as we make things, that is, by intent, design and production. Since we immediately have only access to our own nature, this is a reasonable starting place for inquiry. There are plenty of cosmologies out there to illustrate this temptation.

Another curious occurrence, related to this one, is how we account for events. Most people are tempted to assume everything that happens must happen, as with human action, through some sort of willful intent. The ideas of destiny, fate, wills of gods, and karma illustrate this temptation.

Once this type of idea is adopted it immediately proves inconsistent. This is because, of course, reality doesn't work that way. However, this inconsistency only serves to create a sense of mystery about certain questions. Particularly the ones with answers that are difficult to understand or not immediately obvious. Not everything can be explained through the analogy with our own human nature. Again, it's only good as a starting point, never an end.

Other influences propagate these ideas, whether they be force, custom, authority, manipulation; and it is on this basis, not reason, that they are assumed and defended in argument.

I guess there are different types of explanations, right? Sociological, spiritual, religious, anthropological, historical, physiological, scientific, you ,know, take your pick.

I would go absolutely crazy if I tried to understand......I need only to B E L I E V E.

Valid? you decide.

We possess a soul...an immortal spirit...can't you feel it?

Good one...
