There is a third alternative you know... The black pill!

Too bad its a suppository :|

As much as a human is capable of seeing the world as it is (which I believe is very little) I choose to "embrace the sometimes painful truth" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redpill

My nature prevents me from accepting things as they might or should be and so I choose to seek out truths, painful as they may be.

This path is not for everyone. Some would rather believe--in the words of Rush--"All preordained; a prisoner in chains; a victim of venomous fate."

Believing there is something beyond what our five senses and mental abilities tell us is normal human behavior, but so is cynical analysis and delving inquiry.
