1. Is not a universal truth. We know that all humans in the past have died and usually by the age of 120. The future is a very long time and at some point, that death may be suspended or reanimation may take place.
Universals are a faulty mode of thinking. Although we all do it. If you notice, I just used all, when I have no real evidence that all 6 billion people today or in the past actually did it.

3) Everything makes sense to someone
4) The truth is always true, even if no one believes it to be
5) Just because it's a "well known fact" doesn't mean it's true
6) Just because the thought was reached through deep meditation, dosn't make it deep
7) Few things are as amazing as the amount of effort people will go to in order to annoy others
8) You can never go back -- only forwards, or stand still
9) The truth always hurts you most when you're trying to protect a lie
10) Universal Truths are not necessarily consecutively numbered

the emotions of anger, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, and surprise are said to be universally experienced and not culturally determined.
Although ways of arousing those common emotions might prove similar, there are many examples when it isn't like that. What I might respond to with disgust for instance, someone else could be perfectly okay with. But that's beside the point, since at least there do seem to be universal emotions.

If it weren't for the Hubble constant being what it is..
The galaxies would have flown off, and not grouped together, as we see them now. If it's value was just a little different....we would not be enjoying this conversation

I think therefore I am.
All other truths come after that.

I believe in karma... I think that people should be true to themselves first and then others as well. Patience, love and tolerance.
