Things are not as they seem

These were part of a bigger write-up i did about reality and our perception of it. Its a little rambling than is desired but i don't feel like doing something original tonight. Plus is anyone reading aways?

It alone searching for truth, either all perspectives are valid, none are valid, or some are valid. Clearly no one believes they are wrong, or else why would they do that? They believe in some justification for their actions. But what do we judge them on? Our own beliefs? How do we know what we believe is valid? I suppose many appeal to objective facts, but can anyone really appeal to them unobjectively? What comes first, out beliefs or the proof for them? If you are searching for truth, or following your own moral compass as it were, using knowledge as best you could to guide you, then obviously you must believe there are better ways to live and/or better beliefs to hold than others. So clearly there is some mechanism to determine the relative validity of any religion, regardless of your own location and situation. There is either a best way or there is not. If there isn’t, then how many acceptable ways exist? What if two ways are contradictory but you cannot deem either more or less valid, how do you pick which one, especially as it relates to other people? The truth is that society needs some level of conformity to function, so total anarchy is not really an option.
