Others get but never give.

Materially perhaps.

Such is the world.

Sorry, the world is the way it is even if YOU don't understand it.

You haven't created a new world. Some believe truth is relative and if they don't believe it, it isn't true. But, some things are true whether you believe them or not.

As opposed to what? "Spiritually?" More cosmic terms.

No doubt. I am glad you find Taoist wisdom appealing. When will you accept that the world is not the way you say it is?

You are right, imo. Our believing or disbelieving doesn't make something true or untrue. That's the nature of (dis)belief. That's why claiming that the NT is truth or completely denying it is probably more than either view can prove.

On the other hand, the Andromeda Galaxy exists even if we don't know about it. It's existence is a fact that is independent of our knowledge or belief.
