"Say not, I have found the truth,
but rather, I have found a truth.
~Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
Truth! The word makes me
tremble!
Obviously, there has to be some
kind of universal truth that we all
try to understand and adhere to.
Doubt very much if we have any,
The earth is flat peeps left!
I think where it breaks down, may
be in our individual belief systems.
Each person believes the way they
see fit, that which makes sense to
them, and nothing can sway them
from it. Surely then, this means that
said beliefs are each person's truth!
Then, there are those who would
argue that partial truths are not
truths at all. Most likely there's a
reason why one must swear in
court to, "tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth."
What about people's feelings?
When asked, "Do you like my
new hat?" Would you say, "No,
I don't really care for it." Or,
would it be better to say, "It's
really quite interesting. Where
did you ever find it?"
Methinks, we are all enamored
with the idea of truth. However,
I imagine we all harbor different
feelings regarding exact meanings!
pray dont lie to me
only the truth serves me well
god that was painful
