The truth is a lie...It depends entirely upon our perception of it...No people means no truth...No you, means no truth... Forget fundamental truths of a universe we can know not at all, and look for enough truth to get you through your life, or if pressed, through the next ten minutes...At some point, truth is life, the greatest lie, offered and denied, and after that, silence..

That just seems so sad and empty, even friendships would have no meaning.:saddened:

Life is all meaning, all truth... Other people, friends, even enemies are all we have, and after that, death, nothing, no meaning....Enjoy it while you got it... Do not worry about truth as some thing absolute and eternal...You have all the truth you need inside your own skin, and better for you if you can keep your truth without taking anyone else's truth... See what I mean??? All you need is enough...

really

so the truth and the absolute truth that you need air and water and then food to sustain the physical self is not a truth ?

perception has nothing to with these fundamental truths for us just to exist

You need to understand ,

Truth is obvious.

It is always in front of you.

Humans are refused to see it.

Why?. You have to find your own reasons.

if i explained with words , you believe or do not believe that crap.

Best way out is asking questions not answering with another belief.:detective:

Life is truth, but it does not last, so even it is a lie...

Why do you think we must invent life after death??? Is it not because we cannot live with the reality of death that make a lie of life???Wee hid the truth with another lie, that we will live on in some fashion... When I see it I will believe it...

why does this make sense to you , your reasoning ?



why is life after death an invention by us ?

either you will see it or experience it

Tell me about your beliefs... Why should I care about what you know since so often people take the one to be the other... If I untangle belief from fact I find soon enough that I have little of fact and much of belief... One thing I do not say of death, that I will exist after... The things I find meaning in may exists, but without me to give them meaning it will be as though they do not exist, because then, I will not be there to give them menaing... So you say "you will" in reference to death... And I ask: What me, and what will, -will live beyond the barrior of death???

Q
its not me about " belief " but experience

life is a competely different energy from the physics and chemistry of the Universe

Maybe life is eXeptional; lingo might not be sufi enough to explain the wonders. I feel lucky and loved for the fact I am alive.

If you do not believe, you do not try new roads.

Experience is also failure. Could learn Yust as much, or more than asked for.

Life is to short to think too much, I Believe...

How would you go about proving this; seeing as though you have not got the universe in your pocket, nor life to say what is the difference is exactly...

Maybe life is eXeptional; lingo might not be sufi enough to explain the wonders. I feel lucky and loved for the fact I am alive.

I believe in the special abilities of Human; i.c. the facts we accept as truth are based on projecting ideas into the future or to form theories about things we have no real knowledge. If you do not believe, you do not see or try try new roads. In science you would try to prove your theories with emperical tests by trying to falsificate (according to Popper) your (new) theory. Experience is also the possibility of failure.

Life is to short to think too much, I Believe...

I am a bit cryptic here. I used to be mister Rationality myself, but now I am not a teenager anymore I find more pleasure in inter-personal contact. I am more interested in truth from other persons close to me than the Big Truth from so-called authorities. Your view on truth is also important to form my vision of my truth. I believe I feel happier to accept the diversity in thoughts about Truth, than aiming at a Theory covering every aspect of Life & Truth.

Magister:a-thought:

:bigsmile:My personal life changed a lot the last decade. It took me a few years to adjust to the situation. Things important to me shifted from material and intellectual to more compassionate thinking and living more aware of the people around me. I feel better being able to understand a different point of view without measuring it to an Absolute Truth. I believe traveling different roads (philosophy, religion, history or just daily living) can en-rich our lives and thinking.

I realize it sounds a bit Boeddhist, but I also found that a interesting approah. I was raised strictly Calvinist but had a period I did not believe anything which could not be proven. Now I am searching for a Middle Road since a few years. I didn't become an ir-rational thinker, but realize that lots of the scientific progress also rested on believers in a certain theory. I think proof is important, but come after the belief in the theories to be proven.

yet truths , billions of truths are all around us , and the truth of this is what allows you to continue to survive in the first place

and the acknowledgement of whats around you , enviroment

truth is not just about science persay but relising that things are in the enviroment because they can't be anything else

Of course we have to recognize events around us. The problems start giving it names. In Europe we hac=veold names for wind directions. In south-east France you have the Mistral, a strong wind from the valley of the Rhone to the coast. People do not call it a Nortern wind because has a different origin. In Greece/Macdonia they call it the Vardar I believe; it's a warm wind, strong, coming from th mountains, going to the sea.

Desribing this winds with a Name is efficient because locally people know how to propare, learned over the centuries

names do not matter

what is described remains the same

its not me about " belief " but experience

life is a competely different energy from the physics and chemistry of the Universe
