Whilst the title is from a rather tame episode of a famous show, it is something that resonated within me. The Idea behind the words strikes at something within us; a drive for those who would seek the truth. It is how I found this website.

I read a lot, I seek answers to random things that I have always been curious about. The internet is a gift to those born asking "why?". If a question arises, and I don't know the answer, I have this desire to find the answer. Things that would at first glance seem trivial to those around me. It was through these searches about a myriad of subjects that I was led to a certain destination. Through the random chance of repetition in relevance I have decided that this forum shares many of the same questions that I have, and might even be the one that knows some of the answers.

I have witnessed some amazing exchanges between the users here that leads me to believe that rational and reasoned debate is welcomed. I have also witnessed some astoundingly obtuse comments, but given my experience in society as a whole I would judge this site to be worth the time to participate.

For each question, and the following path to it's resolution there is a journey that must be traveled. The road is filled with many barriers and misdirections. I feel that there are others like me here who are driven to find the destination.

Given my thoughts on this, I have finally decided to stop lurking and sign up.

My name is Seiko, I seek the force of the truth.

I have it on good authority that John Keats would strongly disagree with the opening question...

Welcome here.
You sound like an interesting person. ;-)

Well, OP, while you pose an interesting thought, I certainly would have to ponder this at length.

However, I do find beauty in truth. The saying 'you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free', is indeed beautiful. Although, I have yet to know the truth, just speaking the truth as I know it does set you free from the lies of self.
