"Is there truth on this planet?
There are convictions opinions, beliefs, hypotheses, interpretations, stories, myths, facts, fact checks, ideologies, answers, reactions, observations, deductions, doctrines, creeds and dogma.
There is a desire for truth.
There is a belief in truth.
There is an understanding of what truth could be and even a hope for truth to be real.
But does truth itself still evade us?
If truth is even real, I don't see it or hear it resting on this cosmic rock we call Earth, among these cosmic travellers we call humans.
Maybe truth drops in from time to time in search of what could be a receptive soul but quickly retreats because the wars, the fighting, the division, the domination, the petty disagreements, arrogance and power.
Me saying all this, is my conviction, but it is not truth. It is my opinion, my belief, my hypothesis, my interpretation ... and that is my story." Ruby Neumann
I posted this on Whatsapp... and got quite the conversation going. I think there is no consensus as to what truth is, never mind what is true. English... such a vague language. But it's all I have to make a feeble attempt to describe what is mostly indescribable.
It was Freud day today... but there was too much to read today.
