Perception

Hi I’m Chin. I’m 16 and I love to think, especially about the most fundamental questions. I love adrenaline and an intellectual challenge. The universe to me is simply mind blowing, every single detail, from the quantum level of quarks to the supermassive black holes that spark the creation of the star dust that each one of us, a complex group of organic molecules in a remote region of the Milky Way, is composed of. I disagree with simply chiding aside the hard problems of the universe or our everyday lives, simply by saying “It’s God’s work, and I should not question it.” To me, I will be running away from the challenging problems that make life interesting. What do you gain from simply casting it away? My happiness lies in understanding how it all works. I love Physics- logic and rational explanations to the awesome phenomena that occurs during every second of the reality we experience is what really interests me. I am an open minded agnostic atheist. To me I can live and die with unanswered questions, instead of filling in the blanks with faith. I will prefer say I don’t know rather than concoct a story which might just be wrong. I don’t need to have a spiritual purpose, or the promise of an afterlife to live or practice moral deeds. An afterlife might just exist, I don’t know and I may never, but I am not frightened to think I will not exist after I die. I am or possibly am, merely a tiny link in an evolutionary chain. The perplex universe is beautiful and within my limited intellectual capacity I will search for answers.
