The Truth

I think.
I think of all walks of life.
Of all philosophies and religions.
I think of them often, debating the cultures behind them.
I debate which philosophy is the best of all.
And I think.
There is no one true philosophy.
We choose one based on our culture and heritage.
Sometimes others choose them for us.
The one philosophy, though, is the one you choose.
Take the best parts of all religions and make them your own.
That is the truth.
The bravery of the barbaric.
The selflessness of organized religions.
The burning curiosity of those that believe nothing.
All of these, and more, are the one true philosophy.
That is the truth.
An it harm none,
So mote it be.
