In order to have a healthy and meaningful life, people need to have a unifying purpose behind everything they do. Recognizing the importance of this at a young age (as I saw many lacking one struggle greatly), I decided to devote myself to the pursuit of truth, regardless of where it took me. From this, I quickly realized how difficult this was, as on virtually every issue, there is a massive amount of ambiguity, which inevitably leads you reaching false conclusions produced from your existing biases.
Because of this, whenever I try to figure out why something "bad" is happening, I take numerous possibilities (often over a dozen) into consideration, and frequently never fully commit to any as I don't feel a definitive case was made for any of them — an approach which lies in stark contrast to those who come across one explanation and immediately commit to espousing it (as it "makes sense"). Rather, I patiently wait and have faith I will eventually uncover the thread that ties all the disparate pieces together (which when finally revealed, is an immense source of joy).
Note: this is why, while I sometimes claim things are true, I am also quite deliberate in prefacing other statements with "I suspect" or "I believe."
