Skepticism

Skepticism or scepticism (see spelling differences) is generally any questioning attitude towards unempirical knowledge or opinions/beliefs stated as facts, or doubt regarding claims that are taken for granted elsewhere. Skepticism is often separated into categories, related to morality (right or wrong), religion (religious doubt), or the nature of knowledge ("there is no knowledge beyond how things appear.")

Philosophical skepticism is a systematic approach that questions the notion that absolutely certain knowledge is possible. Classical philosophical skepticism derives from the 'Skeptikoi', a school who "asserted nothing". Adherents of Pyrrhonism (and more recently, partially synonymous with Fallibilism), for instance, suspend judgment in investigations. Skeptics may even doubt the reliability of their own senses.Religious skepticism, on the other hand, is "doubt concerning basic religious principles (such as immortality, providence, and revelation)".Scientific skepticism is about testing beliefs for reliability, by subjecting them to systematic investigation using the scientific method, to discover empirical evidence for them.

    Blind Existence

    by: Sceptic

    On the rough sea of colourless thoughts
    My blind existence will die
    With no target on the way to death
    Time's taken away
    Here comes my day
    [Chorus]
    Happiness is lie
    We all have to die
    [Chorus 2]
    What power gives you right
    To decide who will live and who will die
    What right gives you power
    To execute God's verdicts
    Fear fills my body from inside
    It won't let me live longer
    I'll see the face of death in no time
    Death appears in my fear
    [Lead guitar-Jacek]
    My emotions are hidden in my eyes
    Death is part of the reality
    Soon it will come and take me away
    To the place which I don't want to see
    [Repeat chorus]
