But if our concept of truth and god are flawed then we may only get so far in our journey- no matter how much we might want to "do good".
Sometimes the situation calls for doing nothing. Everyday is filled with opportunities to understand life a bit better, to help our fellow man or whatever, because we know deep down that this will help all of us in the end.

Note: infinity is a concept not a number and cannot be logically compared to 1. Sonship made the same mistake in the other thread where he thinks you must 'traverse infinity' in order to get from one point to another on an infinite line. In reality, the distance between two integers on the number line is always finite, and the distance between any two points in an infinite space-time, will always be finite.
