is it really important?

is the whole question of a god really important? why invest time and effort in searching for the Truth when you could be spending your time enriching the rest of humanity? isnt it more important to do good than to philosophize on morality? are you truly being moral?

the answer, to me, is that the search for Truth is ultimately the standard we set for the importance of anything in the world. whatever we do in the world, whether it is moral or not, whether it is fruitful or not, is entirely predicated in the first place on some notion of morality. thats why the search for some sense of morality cannot be abandoned; this sense of morality drives everything in the world that we think of as right or wrong.

YES, doing good is important. we need to think of it as a need. but ultimately what drives our sense of 'good' can only be reached through a thorough examination of the facts.
