You know, all of us are always in search of something. We always want to find the truth in everything, whether it is important or not. I've rarely understood that the greater the question or the problem is, the smaller the chance to find a solution to it. Am I too pessimistic?

i think that its just human curiousity. but notice when you see an old man or woman that is happily settled somewhere. they have done what they wanted to do with their life, and they are simply content. at this point they almost always stop trying to answer every question that comes their way. you can rarely make them curious to the point of irritation about anything. they don't put much effort in satisfying their curiousity because they are satisfied with their life as it is..... i think that we are all really just trying to find a final contentment with our lives. if we succeed, then we will realize it is not so important to answer every question.

What makes truth hard to find are the veils that we have to tear apart in order to find it. These veils are our beliefs rooted in tradition, inherited from our ancestors and followed blindly instead of being investigated personally.
Truth is always logical and scientific that is what makes it easy to see. If we are willing to search for it without prejudice and with an open mind.
In a metaphorical way if we compare truth to the sunlight. It is easy to see but our eyelids - prejudices and blind beliefs rooted in tradition- can hide it away.
Truth can also be compared to a beautiful diamond. The fact that it is hard to find is what makes it valuable.

Of course the truth is out there. But whose truth are you looking for.
Certain things in this life is best left unknown. Have you ever heard the saying the more you find out the less you know. One Love.

You mean it is not? Or would it be here then?
Truth IS. And Truth is one. And Truth is everywhere. Here and there are both in everywhere, there is no distinction. We make the distinction, because we are here. We are closed in on ourselves and fail to see the Truth here, so we wonder whether it might be out there!
As to just how to see the truth here, amp has put it perfectly. I can do no better.

The truth is not "out there" as some would have you believe. The truth is plain as day. Even a child knows what the truth is.

you are not pessimistic. everyones opinions differ, you cannot satisfy them all. what may be truth to you will not be the same to everyone else and there is no way we can harness the power of individuality for doing so would end so many problems of this world, but it would cause so many more.

If you think of life as a circle, never ends or begins, perhaps your answer lies there. Life is about choices or changes, questions seeking answers. Your thoughts are not those of your fellow man, therefore one can not answer this question, you decide what is pessimistic by your own standards, not mine.

When searching for the truth, don't look out there. Look inside. Search yourself. If you are true to yourself, you have found the truth.

The truth isn't out there. The truth is in here. Search your soul for the truth.

I think the deeper the question the more facets it has and the less likely to get all the pieces to the puzzle at once.
