The Truth is Out There...

Sorry Fox Mulder and, before him, Richard Dreyfuss’s character in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It is okay to believe, but to know requires more than belief. The Truth May Be Out There, I’m waiting for the proof out there to come in here before I try to Pen Pal with someone from Alpha Centauri.

The other popular phrase from the old X-Files television show was I want to Believe. Wanting to believe in something that sometimes blinds people from the lack of proof. It is okay to want to believe something. It is okay to believe something. Just understand the difference between belief and truth. A troubling number of people get those two things confused and then get upset with those that do not confuse the two.
