Question #27: Is it possible to know the truth without challenging first?

I think it is absolutely possible to know the truth without challenging it first.  Don't mistake what I am saying. I believe it's important to question and challenge ideas, people, values, knowledge, yourself.  After all, I am writing the answers to 50 questions for no other reason than to challenge myself and learn the truth as I see it.

But there is one thing I've never needed to question, and I was born knowing it; it has been reinforced by my family since the very moment I came home from the hospital.

And that one thing is the very simple reality that I am loved, unconditionally, by all 7 blood members of my immediate family: both parents, and five siblings.  Nothing else have ever been such an easily acceptable fact.

That is the truth, and I will never challenge it.

I hope, with every fiber of my being, that my two parents, Swati, Nani, Senior, Jdogg, and MandolinMan never challenge my love for them either. But if they ever do, it still wouldn't change the way I feel.
