- Barrett! The book I left for you in your room is about the commonality of spiritual beliefs... did you have a chance to read it?
- My friend... I sent you a wonderful discussion about old Earth religious beliefs the other day.
Did you have time to listen to it? I found it to be very enlightening. - Oh... Barrett, have you already read that text I sent you on the nature of the human soul?
- Yes, Matteo. I'm aware of those philosophical stances already.
- I must have missed it... but it's okay, Matteo. I'm reasonably aware of these philosophies.
- Matteo, I mean this sincerely my friend... I don't think I need more information to understand the gist.
Matteo:
- I find it to be truly fascinating how so many beliefs have so much in common. Don't you?
- It is so interesting to me that all sorts of people came to similar conclusions.
- I love how similar themes about the goodness of humanity shine through in so many of these texts.
Barrett:
- Yet so much differs between the philosophies... surely that is also significant?
- Commonalities do not correlate to actualities, my friend.
- Seekers prefer the mathematical union of all beliefs... I prefer the intersection... the shared humanistic foundations.
Matteo:
- The differences in thought are situational based on the history of the people whose lives it enhances.
- I think about that too, but things involving humans may be flawed in translation, don't you think?
- I prefer to consider the intention of the beliefs rather than the precision.
Barrett:
- All of the data points should be considered, even or especially the ones that do not quite fit.
- If the conclusions are significantly derivative, there's probably a flaw in the hypothesis.
- If the methodology leads to alternative conclusions, perhaps the premise itself is flawed.
Matteo:
- I have the perfect text for you... it clears it all up. I'll leave it in your room when I have a moment.
- You are asking for a mathematical formula that creates hope, dreams, and love.
- I understand why you say that, but I think it is my own fault for not explaining better.
Barrett:
- All right, Matteo. We'll have to pick this up another time.
- Matteo, I love you my friend, but we'll have to continue this another time.
- You're a kind person, Matteo.
Maybe next time we should talk about sports instead, though.
