Examining Epistemology & What It Means To Feel Human

 

We sense a chasm between what is suggested as truth verses what defines itself as obvious truth. We dispel aphorisms or platitudes in a sense we are chasing something explicit in our inner sanctum. There is a risk to happiness in a world cancelling out truths, in return for what we call false pleasantries. It is in screams of drums or expatiating because it hurts or trying to decode what another has become to us. Most importantly, we desire clarity, as to delineate our truths, our beliefs, where too much is taken for granted. The boots of depression as seated at solace where too much warfare has unrooted a false tenacity. We speak of knowing what we claim in such a way it cannot be unfastened. We tread a dangerous terrain, capable of ruining friendships, where reality is not a priority. Chained to essence, experiencing essence, but only accepted by others with sameness of experience. We speak to Epistemology—a position remaining skeptic, asserting that most claims are circular, meaning, the first premise supports all premises, as returning during debate to its initial premise. We have seen claims where a first cause is supported or necessary or sufficient in itself; it defines itself; its root is in itself—with no need of infinite regression. Some rely on this. Others deny its validity. While most arguments begin with a self-supporting premise, or at minimal, a premise we initially take as being truth, like fact, in order to even entertain the claim thereof. What happens when belief is indicted or embossments are challenged, or a person says it plainly, “There is nothing supporting those systems of beliefs.” We see something vague, like a need to survive, while pitted in a hole trying to reclaim everything that was refuted. A person becomes hopeless, filled with despair, a lonely person holding to what others find as infantile. Or a person becomes a debater, ruined by its profession, where its act sustains, offering fire in its anger. Something delicate is on trial. A question is posed: Must I have a detailed explanation, or a series of facts for each belief—must I live a rigorous factfinding life?
