Belief

What is it that makes two people, with thoughts equal and departing down the same road, deviate so far from each other? There are two possibilities: Either they hold hands tight, and though they pull their bodies away, there will always be the at connection of communication and consistency between them?
Or there is the other possibility: That of no connection--nothing to hold on to. Their paths vary ever so slightly and, when they look back, they see that they never really were on the same path at all.
So why the difference? Why is it that these thoughts of unsurity in my mind force me to reevaluate who I am and what I believe--and I think in the end bring me closer to a truth that I have known for a very long time.
Is my truth someone else's also? Or are there multitudes of truth? Does truth matter?
All the time we hear people speaking of what they know and of what they believe. But what is it to know? How can you know? What if, really, there is only faith? And truth is the elusive element? What is the difference of faith for a believer than a non believer? Are faith and doubt really that far apart? Or do they have that constant hand hold--and each has just been assigned a different name to match their direction?
And what is right? How can I say that what is right for me is right for everyone--even when I know with a firm conviction that it is?
I doubt...but I also have faith. It is the doubting that makes us stronger, and while no one can at all say that if you are unsure that you should hide that and truth will come (rather, you should seek out the root of your doubt, educate yourself and follow where the evidence points) are the two really different? What is truth but truth's own propaganda?
Faith. Believing in something which is not seen which is TRUE. Truth. What is truth? And how can you prove it? Maybe the truth is that you can't.
