The Crutch of Faith

Lending from the words of Dmitry Glukhovsky, 'A dogma or belief is a crutch that facilitates human will to trudge on'. Obsession with 'a purpose' is rife at every instant in the history of mankind. Indoctrinated at a young age most humans believe that the belief imparted to them at childhood  is the one and only structure and source of support  that will let them fulfill their 'purpose' in life. To deviate from the structure is a death sentence. Words have a great power to manipulate and control people. The basis of most faiths and beliefs is the power of the 'eternal word'  , often offering no other proof or tangibility other than it's own mysterious aura. Like a primordial instinct built into the species we are drawn into this aura like flies to a lamp. An instinct to latch onto a 'reason' or a structure, however absurd, and blindly believe it to ensure the survival of the kind. The strangeness of such a structure when analysed in a less reverential manner gives rise to many humorous theories abounding in popular imagination that man is nothing but an intermediate step in the life cycle of a sperm or that humans are livestock reared for the benefit of mosquitoes. Recent findings from the world of science (a surprisingly orderly and well reasoned set of beliefs based on the very existence of the universe) that indicates the universe in which we exist  may not even exist at all, is quite remarkable considering that if this hypothesis is indeed true, it may well undermine the millenniums worth of human observation, quantification and reason explaining the very universe that holds him captive.
