Theres no such thing as truth. Its all belief. People used to think the world is flat, they believed it to be true. Now we think the world is round, this is what we believe to be true.
Its our perception of reality that gives us this misguided notion of right and wrong. With out our belief that there is a distinction between right and wrong, there would be no right or wrong.
So what is your point? Do you believe cause and effect are a truth? Or that since we cannot know the cause of our existence we cannot know truth?

Science doesn't have the truth either. It tries very hard though. We have had scientific beliefs, and then a new idea or theory or study changes that belief. They are still not truths.

I can ask a simple question, "What is Pi to the last digit?" I can never answer it though. Is the answer so important or can we just say 3.141592? Or 3.1416? Or do we need a new number system which is not base 10? Primates have 10 digits on their hands, this is the reason why the entire world uses the base 10 number system, idiotic!

Forgive me, You are saying that language is what prevents us from understanding and changing our belief systems? Or Truth?
