What is TRUTH Part 2

Finally after months of procrastination, I have come to post the second part of this topic. I am sure the final output would not meet the expectations set and dampened by my excessive suspense. But still, if I am to satisfy my conscience that I can be a doer, then we might as well bring this to proper closure.

IMHO, TRUTH should not be something society imbibes in you, it's more, what you seek and conclude by urself. Not that u have much hope of synthesising a truth that differs that much from what society subsribes because all the basis you need to verify that your truth is actually true is subtly or openly provided by society.

And when socety chooses to plant a "verifier", it is never defined as someone else's opinion- nope- but as a statement of fact which you have no locus standi to argue against. I say that's all B-shit...

If on the otherhand, society gets to a dead-end as far as planting "verifiers", u are told the issue is a mystery and you'd do best not to explore in that direction. Yet people use that unverified truth to perpetrate all manner of actions which are prejudged right.

UNIVERSAL TRUTHS- How universal are universal truths? IMO, there is no such thing as a universal truth. There is nothing that agrees to the condition of everyone in the world at the same time. IT'S ALL A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE.

The sun will shine tomorrow - Yeah, right!!! What if I was in Antartic, at that spot the sun never reacheses, will you call me on my satellite phone and say "Don't worry, the sun will shine tomorrow". Shouldn't I stretch my time through the phone to give you a resounding slap?

What then do we do
Every human being should be given the space and time to discover what truth is and to have their own means of verifying it themselves with their own parameters. Wouldn't that cause so much dissent???

Yes, but who says all dissent is BAD. IMO, I think there is far too much assent in the world. People agree and accept too many things, situations and circumstances without raising their voices against it. They are brainwashed so to speak. They stop thinking!!!

As someone said, once human beings give something a name, they feel they understand it, and stop thinking about it...

And if there is anything the world needs more of, it is thinkers. 'Cos thinking is for me, simply a process of creating or verifying what TRUTH is for you.

So back to the original question, What is TRUTH????

Whatever you say it is, my dear, not what they tell you it is.
