There's not really a moment in time where I'm not evaluating my views: politically and philosophically. Growing up while observing the views the world offers, only makes me question them to get a better understanding of each and every different perspective. Within the philosophical branches of metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology, I've observed that I have no absolute answer to the questions that are asked. I have ideas but, are those really answers? With my own skepticism, I've compared myself to the famous Greek philosopher: Socrates. This essay would be my explanation of my positions, how I can relate it to Socrates, and how I question the world's different perspective.
Unquestionably, I stand a very little position of empiricism; I do believe that knowledge can derive from experience. However, I also believe that knowledge, wisdom, and truth can be achieved by admitting ignorance and succumbing to an absence of one's ego can unlock an access of truth and wisdom.

No matter what religion or skepticism one may have, this idea is widely known among the world despite being stated in different ways. Again, this differ from the world view of epistemological and metaphysical ideas. I do not know if a majority or a few people would stand with me on those positions; one does not have the knowledge to
