FROM WHOSE PERSPECTIVE LIES TRUTH |
ARE WE SHOOTING IN THE DARK? |
Have
you ever tried to line two fence posts in a straight
line? No matter
where you put that second post it will always line up
perfectly with
the first one. A 'guide' post, or a third proven point, is always needed to obtain an accurate and straight fence line for the other posts. |

We all
see 'truth' from our
own perspective, but is it actually truth we see, or
merely our own concept
of truth. Not one of us holds the rights to truth
- not you, not them,
and certainly not me. Then who does hold the 'rights' to
absolute truth? In
addition, if we do not have this right, then why do we
kill, wage war, and bear
false witness, to our various comprehensions of 'truth'? |
Now, consider the
image on the right, to
which an additional element has been added to the
scenario. As we can
see, all six perspectives were merely casting
their beams into the
darkness. Oh sure, they may be picking up partial
truths, and then reflecting back
enough light for dousing up a good story, but still
not capturing the entire
and exact facet of truth. On the other hand, if we
were to have all the facts,
even if this knowledge does not match what old
traditional wisdom has told us
for centuries, we would all receive the answers we
seek.
Natural instinct, common sense and logic would go
far to serve us a large
portion of pure truth. We
would
know for
certain there was only one direction in which truth
can be found - all
others
would have no place in the definition of genuineness
– nor would they
belong in
the basis of what is right and what does not
belong. What a grave
travesty of humanity to base wars, hate, anger,
brutality, and other
immature
behavior, on anything so nonsensical as religious
traditions, petrified dogma
and
rituals, corrupted knowledge, adulterated science,
partial historical
accounts,
and bias determinations on 'truths' that cannot be
proved nor accepted
by all
humankind. Still, this is what mankind has done for
millennia, with not
even a
glimmer of correction in sight. |
