I don’t see philosophy as arrogant at all. It is definitely more looking for the truth than imposing a truth (which is more arrogant).

In the end, concerning life and death, no one knows. There’s really no concrete evidence to support the existence or non-existence of life after death, or of a greater being, or even that we actually have souls and it’s not all in the brain. It all comes down to what you personally believe. Not everyone believes the same thing. I’m Catholic, but I don’t necessarily believe the exact same thing as other Catholics. And everybody is different, so everyone has different beliefs. You just have to find what works for you.

The uncertainty is part of what makes life interesting. If we had nothing to wonder about and nothing to question, we’d become very bored with our lives.
