"Buddha says:
Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true".
find your own truths, but be careful to make sure that they are actually your own truths, and not implanted "truths".
yes find your own truths, but like the quote says keep testing what you believe and judge to be true, but hold out reservations as well just in case you got something wrong, in your belief.
