Book excerpt: “Finding Truth in Life and Love: One Man’s Journey.” Wow, what a title, but I hear you say the great thinkers of our time can explain Love, Life and the Universe, so why have you bothered writing a book? Stephen Hawking says, “the universe can and will create itself from nothing”. Richard Dawkins explanation of life is, “We are survival machines, robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes”. And as for love, science has proven that love is just a bunch of chemical reactions. So, what can I offer on the subject at hand? All these intelligent people indeed have more to say on the subject with all their knowledge gained through degrees and doctorates. What can I add to the subject with my most prised qualification being my 100-yards swimming certificate from primary school? Well, indeed, I do not have a lot of knowledge, but I do consider that life has taught me to be wise. You may ask what the difference is between knowledge and wisdom. Well, knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting tomatoes in your fruit salad. Reading some of the explanations by the world’s greatest minds, like Stephen Hawking, when he says the universe will create itself from “nothing”, I get the uneasy feeling that someone is messing with the fruit salad. This uneasiness and my stubborn, enquiring nature have set me on a half century discovery for truth. The earth is travelling at 67,000 miles per hour through space. Is someone driving? What about all the religions of the world? Are some or all of them true? What is the truth in any case? Does the truth matter? Why don’t we abandon the truth, and all invent our reality to suit our lives?
