People... are like Science?

As I was reading strat paper after strat paper this evening, a thought came to me: maybe people are like science. The more I thought about it, the more it makes sense.

In science, nothing is absolute. We cannot say FOR SURE that anything happened. We can say, this is our BEST GUESS of what happened. We are fairly certain that it happened. We are so certain that we will believe this theory to be fact until someone comes along and disproves it.

Well, maybe that's how I should think about people. Friendship. Relationships. Friendship/relationships are never absolute. We can say, I think that these people are for real. I think that they actually care about me. In fact, I'm fairly certain that they are for real and that they care about me. I'm so certain that I will believe it to be fact until they disprove it. Key words: until they disprove it.

But I should never forget that people, like science, are constantly changing. What was believed to be true at one point is most certainly likely to change in the future. And we can never be sure what the truth actually is, because there is no way to for sure prove it.

Does that mean that science is bad? No. Does that mean that people are bad? Yes.

Haha. At this point in time I really dislike people. But probably the answer to that question should be no, people are not bad for changing. I just hate them for doing it in ways that affect me so directly.
