What is morality? And why does it exist? Is it just the abstract guideline of our action - derived from natural selection? If yes, then to what extent and capacity it is successful for increasing our survival value?
Or is it, from religion, which itself could be a 'by-product' of natural selection? But how can religion claim to bring this concept into existence, if, in the first place choosing to be religious itself required a moral decision to be made?
What am I? What else can you add to this definition of I, that states, I am nothing but a particular sequence/set of memory residing on a particular set of particles? How am I still the same person then, when this memory and constituting particles both change constantly with time? What is that hidden 'string' that really ties everything together - that actually differentiates one conscience from the rest?
Or is there no such string, but an illusion of a connected 'line' from the really disconnected but orderly placed 'dots' ? If so, then are we not constantly being reborn and dead in this smooth process of changing conscience?
Can logic ever define something that is self sufficient for its own existence? Can logic, in other words, ever start the chain of reasoning? Consequently, can it also ever end that very chain? Is logic not then, just a 'vehicle' for reaching point A from point B, but not the 'tool' that can find the 'source' and 'goal' of the real journey?
What can explain this then, if not logic? What other form(s) of truth shall we seek? Equivalently, are all truth reachable?
