This is the third attempt at writing this. I have written now about the major influences I use to interpret the world, and how we accumulate to many possessions and not enough experiences. Sadly I felt very much dissatisfied with them both. I wondered why this was. Instead now, I have chosen to write about truths. Truths, and how, whenever they are simple, we disbelieve. First, I am going to attempt to generalize how we are raised into this. When we first start asking questions, only simple answers make sense. What day is it? Friday. What is on my sandwich? Baloney and cheese. As we age we are told there is more to this though. It is Friday, the 26, of February, of the year 2016. Cheese is made from milk in a long aging process. Baloney,

But I see us as the forgers. The link we add on will still have to link to the one behind it. Unlike the last link, we can shape it however we want. Free-will allows allows a lot of my answers in life to be, they wanted to. This is unacceptable to a lot of people. Society blames poverty, upbringing, and unlimited amounts of other factors. We look down on thieves and liars. Is it plausible that with their upbringing, they found themselves to be comfortable with such actions. Yes. And they chose to continue the practice. Last, all answers are to be found in nature. Life as existed long before a human developed conscious thought. The creatures of this planet have obeyed simple rules. They strive to live, and breed. By following this, birds evolved to flight, and trees to grow in sunlight. I ran a simulation on schools of fish, and flocks of birds. I created a hundred virtual three dimensional spheres, each with a very simple list of instructions. Their protocol told them to get as close to their fellow entities as possible, with out touching them. Their second rule was to avoid any other object that wasn 't part of their school or flock. Just two rules. Nonetheless, what was achieved look shockingly similar to flocks and schools in real
