We perceive reality judging the facts we are given. We know that some things are true because we have proof or logical explanations for them. But there are things that we just know are true that we don't have evidence for. It might be things in your personal life or just about life in general.

Because there is no evidence for such things, everyone can believe what they want. Reddit user UnbentJohnson came up with the question, "What do you KNOW is true without evidence? What are you certain of, right down to your bones, without proof?" The Reddit thread got nearly 100k upvotes and more than 50k people shared what they believe is true but it could be difficult to convince others that it is.

What would you answer to this question? We are curious to know, so leave a comment down below and upvote the answers that you feel might be true!

Someone Asked “What Are You Certain Of, Right Down To Your Bones, Without Proof?” And 40 Folks Delivered That gardening is the secret to happiness.

Sounds super strange, especially coming from someone like myself - an ex world of Warcraft gamer. I had kids, got busy with work, wanted out of the suburbs, got some land in the country, and started planting stuff. Years later I have what I call a food forest. I have replaced lawns with fruit trees, bushes, vines, flowers, all woven together to mimic a natural forest - except everything in it is edible.

It has changed my life completely.

I just think there's something about being outside in the sun, feet on soil, hands in dirt, planting s***. Watching it grow in the background of your life. Going out and checking on it and watching how much bigger it is getting. Watching life find it, and now you get to live WITH the natural world, not isolated from it.

Birds making nests in your trees, frogs making home in your ponds, seeing bees all around your flowers, butterflies everywhere. Rabbits and squirrels moving in, then owls moving in to eat those. It's this wonderful trophic cascade that you started, and it's incredibly rewarding.

Plus, being able to just walk outside and get chemical-free nutrient-rich dinner is amazing.

I actually think a big reason depression is such a big thing these days is because we have all become so disconnected from the life that we evolved in for the last 6 million years. We evolved walking around savannahs and forests, pulling food off bushes and trees, out in the sun, feet in the soil, hands in the dirt. We couldn't be further from that, living inside our isolated homes, cars and offices. It's no wonder we're all so depressed.

I think gardening is the secret to happiness.

I agree with this to a point. We allow politicians who like to boast about how they did poorly in school, were the class clowns, etc dictate what should be taught in school. If you're the rich people who want to keep good education out of reach for the poorer people the best way to do that is to vilify public schools and demand more 'rigorous' testing policies that have little to do with actual student progress. This way the public schools have to spend more time testing than they do teaching so that the poor students get less education than the kids whose parents can afford private schools who aren't subject to those required tests. It's funny how politicians constantly point to public schools' failing standardized test scores, and tout private schools as the answer, yet never talk about how those private schools don't have to offer Special Education, take standardized tests, or even follow the mandated common core standards.

Someone Asked “What Are You Certain Of, Right Down To Your Bones, Without Proof?” And 40 Folks Delivered I'm quietly convinced I made a bestselling mystery novelist change the way he writes because I criticised him on Reddit.

The novelist in question is Chris Carter; the books are the Robert Hunter series. (Yes, the guy who has built a career on looking for serial killers is named Hunter. He works for the LAPD's Ultra-Violent Crime Unit. It's not a series that's overburdened by subtlety, is what I'm saying.) They are as schlocky a bunch of thrillers as you could ever hope to find, but for some reason I can't get enough of them, despite the fact that they're... very much not great. They lean pretty damn heavy on ridiculous tropes, and I've never seen a more Mary Sue lead than I have in this series, but the biggest complaint I have with them is that the same line appears almost literally word for word in the first nine books ('Hunter’s biggest passion was single malt Scotch whiskey, but unlike most, he knew how to appreciate its flavor and quality instead of simply getting drunk on it.'). I made a comment about it on Reddit on an r/books thread about your favourite terrible authors.

That post was made in January of 2019; in April, his book Hunting Evil came out, and the line was nowhere to be seen. I didn't think much of it until his new book, Written in Blood, came out a few days ago, and also didn't have the line in it. This comment is also one of the top answers if you google his name and the book series via Reddit -- exactly what you'd do if you were looking to see if people on the internet were talking about your books. I also can't find any evidence of anyone else pointing this out in a review or suchlike.

So yeah... in short, three months after I made that comment, he broke the habit of a decade of writing and finally decided that after nine stories that used this as a crutch for Hunter's personality, it was too much.

I know you're reading this, Chris. I know.

200 years from now, at most I'll be a photo in an old family scrap book with my name in the margin space.

300 years from now no one in my family will know I existed outside of a half finished family tree.

Yet ultimately all of their hopes and pains, successes and failures, dreams and depressions will be the direct result of my having existed. So it isn't that bad.

When I was in 7th and 8th grade my English teacher had 'Mind Trap'' Fridays. If we were good for the week we got to do puzzles, riddles, and play the game "Mind Trap' as a class. At the time we thought we were just getting Fridays off from learning. Little did we know she was teaching us how to think critically. I continue that reward with my students today.

Pish posh. The majority of the highly intellectual, learned people throughout history have also claimed faith to one religion or another. And loyalty is considered a virtue in nearly every society. Now, misplaced loyalty will bite you in the a**. But faith and loyalty, in general, are not the problem. The problem is that our schools teach children to memorize and regurgitate information, don't question, and don't think for yourself. So when the chosen target of your faith teaches you claptrap and lies, you are not discerning enough to know the difference.

Most sane people follow the path of least resistance. For the majority that means going along to get along. For others, their sanity would be injured by this, so they develop critical/analytical skills to navigate. Either way is a survival skill: one passive the other active.

Retired Art teacher here. Creativity taught after they are taught basic techniques. They learn how to first then they learn how to put those basic ideas together to come up with new ways of doing things. There are those that can only repeat what they learned, those that can get creative with it across media and subject matter, and those that don't need the basics but can come up with their own way of doing things from scratch. The latter group is the least. On top of that developing their individual artistic style is paramount. We are not teaching basic creative learning skills in regular curriculum. Art only meets 30 minutes to an hour a week for approximately 40-65 lessons a year depending on how many times their class is redirected to something else (fire drills, etc). We can do better. Especially since we are turning out the future Architects, Engineers, and Computer graphics people of the world. Not to mention over 4000 other professions. That is my soapbox speech for the day.

There is more beneficial effects to keep people ignorant: they are easier to control and easier to exploit for your own benefits. so there is no reason for politicians to make any relevant education reforms that would start really teaching critical thinking since it will backfire on them (politician logic I do not agree with btw)

Someone Asked “What Are You Certain Of, Right Down To Your Bones, Without Proof?” And 40 Folks Delivered Back when I was 10 there was a competition for schoolkids to write a treatment for an episode of Doctor Who, with the best one being developed into an full episode in the next series and the winner receiving a writing credit. I was a huge fan of DW at the time and the competition was actually run through schools, so my teacher made the entire class do it, but I was very excited.

I began writing a story about the Doctor landing on a planet full of defective cybermen, who's programming had gone a wry and had been left on this asylum planet to rot. The Doctor lands there in response to a mysterious distress call from a woman and attempts to find and save her while avoiding the dangerous dysfunctional cybermen and the looming threat of planetary destruction at the hands of the normal cybermen. I finished my short treatment and gave it to my teacher to submit. Unfortunately it turned out the competition was very strict about the formatting of submissions and mine was returned because I had used the wrong formatting in some way, it seemed like a weird reason. I was a bit disappointed and that was the end of that.

But then, a year or two later, there was an episode of DW called Asylum of the Daleks, which seemed incredibly similar to my story except with Daleks. So incredibly, eerily, similar in fact, that to this day I am absolutely convinced that Steven Moffat saw my script and came up with a formatting excuse so that he could remove me from the competition, steal my story, change the bad guys and claim it as his own. I have zero evidence, I don't even still have the treatment I wrote, or any letter from the BBC about my submission, and yet I know in my bones that Steven Moffat stole his script from 10 yr old me.

Again, there has to be other life somewhere in the universe. It's 100% out there somewhere.

As an Asian, I can safely say without a doubt that you don't need cups to measure the water when cooking rice.

Not that it is something I believe to be true, but something that I often think about is the Butterfly Effect. Like little things I do during the day could affect the total outcome of my day.

All pets go to the sunny fields outside the gates of Heaven and wait for us. When we die, they’ll be there and will walk through the gates with us.

Nothing wrong with this, so long as they didn't hinder you or affect you emotionally. ( You don't have to like anyone so long as you do no harm).

Someone Asked “What Are You Certain Of, Right Down To Your Bones, Without Proof?” And 40 Folks Delivered That the funeral home by my house is run by some sort of criminal organization.

I always see the same gangster looking guys hanging out in front of it smoking cigars and drinking beers.

Someone Asked “What Are You Certain Of, Right Down To Your Bones, Without Proof?” And 40 Folks Delivered I watched flight 93 go down. I would never share that in real life because it’s f****n grim and no one would believe you (the geography of the reports are off ). I saw it clear as day from Kent state’s main campus (Ohio). I didn’t know what I was seeing other than I remember thinking “that plane is way way too low (we had a aviation college so planes were common) and too big and it’s jerking around like how a toddler drives a power wheels truck....”. Continued on to class. You don’t wanna be late even at a liberal college.

I'm not sure what you saw, but you didn't see a plane that crashed around 200 miles away from you. There were enough ordinary people who WERE in that part of Pennsylvania that DID see it crash and then there were all the reporters who went out to that place, who are not part of a conspiracy to pretend that the plane crashed around Canton, Ohio just because. Like you said, you're next to an aviation college. That would be the most likely explanation for it.

ah, back when Reddit had no subs, there were no 'awards', no ads, no trolls, back before the great digg migration. Back when it was this small site few knew about and when we saw mention of it anywhere else we were like, quick! hide! we've been spotted! Those were the good old days.
