The following is the manifest to my book.
There are 3 main ways to explain the universe. The first is religion, in which many find haven from the most difficult questions. The second is science, in which some look for more complicated and definite solutions. The third is philosophy, which is by far the most complicated, and simple, as it encompasses the other two into a less tangible form. For thousands of years, humans have searched for answers to life's mysteries and in many ways, have found them. However, as answers were found, more questions were uncovered, and here lies the basis for trouble. Humans have a natural need to be correct, and while they believe that they are correct, others do not. Because of this, conflict between the three arises. No definite answer was, or is to be found, for in order for that to occur, one of the three must become dominant.
In order to achieve a state of security then, one must achieve the most objective of views. They must see past their binding cultural inhibitors and in the most absolute sense, defy their need for an answer. The universe would not need to be explained, therefore, and would not create any tension. This is because although humans indefinitely search for an ultimate answer, there is none that would satisfy the three. One must rise above their weaknesses, and not pursue their struggles any longer, for the universe is only as you would believe it to be.
