What is truth?

Recommended Posts

truth can be anything and everything. truth is a fact, it's something that is proven to be correct, it's something that we take and make truthful. but, at times truth can be biased, it could be an opinion. such as, it's truthful i ate fish today. but, it isn't truthful that others have also ate fish today. it depends on the person, situation and topic we're viewing and perceiving in our own way. there's different examples that leave different possibilities for the truth. the truth can determine our future, but at times we don't really know what the future holds, because we haven't experienced it yet. we can try to make efforts, put it our patience, planning it out and thinking about all of it. sometimes it's just reality, sometimes it's just simple, sometimes it's more meaningful. 

 

it's a complex and controversial topic, yet it's so figured out and perfect for others. things can be reality, yet things can also be a fantasy. it really does depend the context we are perceiving this all in. the truth can have many meanings, it could be something realistic that others can see naturally, yet it could be an illusion that only we see, but is it really an illusion if we all are different and have our own perspectives on things? could be so. it really does depend on how people view it collectively and/or individually. there's loads of limits we are unable to cross, because it doesn't fit with different types of people, that is why we generalize, when the experience and situation can be different and unique to different people. we know a lot about humans in general, but no one knows every single thing about humans individually, it's a mystery we can't figure out, because we all are different and changing all the time for the better or worse depending on who we are and how we make the best out of it. it's very interesting to see, because we all are so similar together, yet so different alone.

It can be argued we can never know the truth because all we know is what we perceive and our senses can be tricked.

This was mentioned in an Alan Watts video I have seen. What you believe affects your reality -- as above so below; as within, so without.

I know nothing.

 

Learning only leads to believing, not knowing. For example, 2+2=4 in this dimension/multiverse, but who knows what counting systems are like in other dimensions/multiverses?
