There have been tens of thousands of different beliefs on life that have came and went over fifty centuries of human history.
Not one of them is an exception to the Chinese proverb "Three men make a tiger".
In fact, human beliefs on life are not the exception, they are the rule.
What does "Three men make a tiger" mean? It means that if enough people repeat absurd information, the premise will be erroneously accepted as the truth by others.
Over time, it will become common knowledge that:

1. If you take three men.
   
2. And you put them together.
   
3. You will create a tiger.
   

In other words, you can teach a human being to believe absolutely anything.
Especially if you are taught as a child.
Common knowledge is created.
"Three men make a tiger.
" If a large group of people believes something, even if it is absurd, and you exist within a close proximity of this group of people, you are highly likely to believe it.

• You will not use critical thinking.
  
• You will not question.
  
• You will not research.
  
• You will accept it as truth.
  
• You will believe it as fact.
  
• You will believe it is absolutely certain.
  
• You will be magnetically attracted to others who share your believe that "three men make a tiger".
  
• You will be more repelled by ideas that conflict with yours, such as the idea that "three men make an owl".
  
• You will be subconsciously repelled by others who believe other ideas, such as "three men make an owl".
  
• You may be consciously intolerant of others who believe "three men make an owl".
  

Besides, your parents believe that "Three men make a tiger".
Everyone in your community believes it.
Common thoughts:

• "There are many of them, but only one of me.
  They must be right.
  "
• "Why should I make waves and disagree.
  "

What would happen if millions of people thought this way? What would happen if millions of people went through life believing absurd information, just because their parents and everyone in their community believes something? If you didn't already know, or if you do not have the time to become a spectator of the human condition, allow me to be the first to inform you: It is not a couple million people who think this way.
It is a couple billion.
It is not the minority of people who think this way.
It is the majority.
Startlingly, this concept applies to almost every idea regarding life that human civilization has ever created.
The Asch Conformity Experiments from the 1950's illustrate it in practice, which you can watch in a 4-minute segment on YouTube.
The link between conformity, groupthink and human ideas on life should be of no surprise to you if you have ever sat back and looked at civilization as a whole.
But you will find it difficult to be both a participant and spectator.
If you find yourself investing emotions in ideas, especially if they involve creation myths, you will not want to see them from the outside.
Consider two opposing beliefs:

1. Today's world religions suggest that there is an eternal afterlife (an infinite life after death).
   This infinite life after death is a comforting and rational assumption in the 21st century that billions perceive as reality.
   
2. The idea that all life is one infinite chain.
   This would make the concepts of individuality, birth and death an illusion.
   

Which one, #1 or #2, do you think is more closely aligned to reality? When you consider that the human condition gravitates towards fiction, but is repelled from reality, you may find the answer paralleled in both.
The point:

1. We have no problem applying infinity after our future death.
   
2. We have great difficulty in applying infinity to our present life.
   

But why is it this way? Why do we think in a group? Why is the concept of infinity mind-boggling? Why does our mode of thinking resemble a hive mind or a global brain? Don't kill the messenger: The reason is quite simple.
All life is one.
