RE: Thoughts about the importance of truth
Yet, some brave, if not insane, souls choose to question everything, even their own existence and, moreover, some among them claim that it's the only way to know the real truth
Well, the only truth that is truth is the one within us, not the one we perceive in the outer world. It’s more important to look within. I mean truly
I wonder if real truth exists. Absolute truth is more like an infinite nothing. We are not even meant to know it in the first place
Cheers!
Yeah, I see it as levels of truth:
1.) the "relative truth" of relationships between things that appear to exist, but are based on the fundamental assumption that the objective world is real.
2.) the "intimate truth" of direct experience, based on the fact that something exists, namely myself, proven by my being aware.
3.) the "absolute truth" that stands alone after removing all erroneous assumptions/ conclusions/ abstractions. Whether it's observable or can be known by a human or any other "entity", I don't know. I don't even know if it exists.
Many supposed (spiritually) enlightened people have claimed that there is a (absolute) truth that stands alone and that it can't be known, words can't describe it, but it can be lived.
Well cemented!
Totally love this :)
