: Hal, thank you for your input - most interesting reading, and what I liked best about what you said is that I agree on : every point! *grin* (I simply love it when someone is saying exactly what I would like to hear, or say with their own : words what I would have said...don't you love that, too?) : Anyway....for argument's sake, let's take an example of a given situation where three people experience "the same : thing". : Person A, B and C is standing in a position where the three forms a triangle. A is facing B, and on the top corner of : the triangle C is standing. On the ground between A and B someone has written a symbol on the ground. From A's : point of view it looks like a 9, from B's point of view it looks like a 6. From C's point of view it looks like a circle with : a tail pointing upwards. : Who is right? They ALL are! (Draw the triangle and the symbol if you cannot see it off hand) : Lousy example? Maybe. Maybe not. We DO see things from our point of view. What we experience in any situation : is THE truth seen through our eyes, or sunglasses. And they are invariably tinted by OUR former experiences, our : personality, our mood that day, our expectations and so on and so forth, sometimes even gender. : If A, B and C walk down the street and they meet an anaconda, A get terrified and will tell everybody what a : HORRIBLE experience it was, 'cause A's phobic to snakes. B, on the other hand, thinks snakes are very : fascinating animals and will tell everybody what an awesome sight she had of that perfect example of a anaconda : with a certain, rare skin pattern. C is a hunter and is happy to meet the snake and then goes off and brag about being : the only girl in the neighborhood ever killing an anaconda. : Who is right? : They ALL are. Even put in an objective point of view - A is right to be scared, anacondas ARE dangerous! B is : right, that WAS a rare pattern. C is right to brag, as it happens she WAS the only girl in the neighborhood who ever : had killed an anaconda, heck she was the only person ever in that neighborhood to hunt down an anaconda! : Get my point? : To a certain degree, I do agree with you that there is such a thing as THE truth when something happen. Either : A was scared or she was not. Either that snake had a rare pattern or it didn't. But whether bragging about killing a : snake or not is right, is up for discussion..... : Some may read this entry thinking I'm angry, others may think I'm a brainless idiot, others may claim I'm up shit : creek without a paddle, others again think I'm witty, then some will think I sound defensive, and some might think I : am being sarcastic, then you have those who think what I say makes a lot of sense. Who is right? Which one are : you? : : BB : As for The Ultimate, Universal Truth, I believe we all WILL find it one day. Problem is we're dead when we do.
