Do we really know?

Life is a thicket of veiled, dimly-lit appearances and distorted sensory perceptions, alternately pushing, pulling and coaxing us through a labyrinth of circumstances and structures. There's little need for a facilitated departure, for the natural order is exceedingly capable of speeding our demise with the utmost efficiency. For some it is all so very personal and purposeful. For others it is nothing but a blunt, meaningless procession without the slightest evidence of a conscience, and with value or purpose only to the degree to which we earth-bound organisms choose to give it. Does anybody really know, or do they only think they know?
