Nothing but a Notion

I feel that people are always on a search for "truth" or "reality", as if there's an all-in-one solution to all problems in life. As human beings, we tend to desire closure and conclusions. It's as if we feel that once we've figured it all out, the process is finished and another one can begin. Yet the search for truth or truths is never-ending. Questions only yield more questions.

Most of us don't realize that reaching a conclusion is not equivalent to reaching truth. This is what, in my opinion, causes us to hold our "values" so tightly, what causes us to narrow our minds as we grow older, what makes us think we know better than someone else. Convictions are nothing but falsely realized truths.
