Do you see? / Don't you see?
Two men, George and Ralph, stand in a room. Ralph can see a door George cannot. George calls Ralph delusional for seeing things that aren't there. Ralph calls George blind because he cannot see what is there.
So is the way of the world.
Which is better? To be delusional or to be blind?
If George decides to trust Ralph and follow him, there are two ends. The worst end is that George would discover that what Ralph sees is indeed a delusion. The best end is that George would learn to see and realize he had been blind before.
If Ralph decided to trust George and follow him, there would also be two ends. The best end is that Ralph would indeed realize he was delusional. The worst end is that Ralph would become blind also like George and no longer see the door.
Which would you choose? Would you take the risk, even knowing that one possible outcome could be a delusion, if only to reach for the other possible outcome of learning to see?

Haha no worries ^^ I’d like to answer that question. Hmm … frankly there’re only mum and me who believe in God so far … I mean … my sister doesn’t seem to understand what religion is … XD and my father doesn’t seem to get into this thing when he knows that money is after all the key element when he holds an obligation to take care of my family … perhaps I should have t understand that he just doesn’t have much time left to do other things … I know that he feels revered to my religious belief … but it’s just that he’s too tried to do other things, including deciding to believe in God … anyway … I would like to show my respect to his belief … that is … he doesn’t have any religious belief ^^ but I still show my respect to it for sure
And thanks for the great luck my friend ^^ the interview’s over ^^ and … well though I can’t say whether I can succeed in getting a seat ^^ (for sure I hope to have one no matter what haha XD) I still can say that it went pretty well at least. Alas my friend, will you have to have any interview when being promoted to a uni?!
