Hello!
(Just noticed that the word "hello" starts with "hell" xD)
Never mind about that =). Anyways, I do agree with you that there is such thing as the truth. If you've studied the science of logic, you will learn the whole concept of truth and false with their subcategories. I haven't learned all of it, my teacher only mentioned them once. =P
My feelings told me that in order to find "the truth" in any subject, one has to go through 3 steps:
- Learn the whole thing
- Use logical/critical analysis
- Feel/experience it in life
Only after these procedures, we can say, that we know the truth in any given topic. Since there is only one truth in everything, everyone who thinks correctly and went through these steps should come to one conclusion. That conclusion is the truth.
If there is any other answers, that contracts the truth, it means that there has been some sort of a problem with one of those steps. One didn't learn well; didn't analyze thoroughly; didn't experience it in life. Because of that, we often come to misunderstanding.
Sorry for writing down the same idea as yours... I understood this concept few months ago, thought it could help some people to learn how to think correctly :D
Thank you for the nice article! Good luck! =)
Truth can be found but not all of it. I've heard people say we can't know truth which is simply just not truth. Right we don't know everything but we can still know some thing that are true. Truth to me means that it doesn't change based on what someone thinks or not.
Oh, about knowing everything, I do believe we carry the truth within ourselves but we are misguided by our thoughts, emotion and desires. Sometimes when I clear my mind of all thoughts and desires, I do find important meanings within myself. Some people call it "message from the universe", I call it "communication with my consciousness" or smtn like that.
In other words - we are the truth, covered by illusions. Knowing ourselves equals knowing the truth. They say it's the first step to enlightenment.
Then we ask: what is enlightenment? xD
