Original Truth

"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. "Marcus Aurelius


I certainly have researched ALOT of quotes and perspectives and opinions on what Truth is.. Since everyone has their own take on this concept – does Original pure truth really exist?

I watched the Da Vinci code and the movie had me thinking about how many things in life are a truth that appeals to one person and not to another.. And I wondered is there really a universal truth out there of some kind that is unmistakable and undisputable.

Some people will argue that their religious believe, conviction and resolve is ultimate truth, Strictly speaking: Questions, commands, and exclamations are neither true nor false, because they do not make claims about objective reality. When truth is deemed dependent upon the person or culture holding the belief, anything can become "true,"

Truth is what corresponds to reality.

In my previous postings.. I have said in many different ways – that I want to find and be found and live with intimacy and reality… but when someone looks at my life and the situations I face in life they might say that I am living somewhat of a surreal life and that I cannot emphatically state that I live in TRUTH and honesty as it is only MY truth and MY reality.

My thinking is if you are going to cocoon every person to their own reality and their own world, no person will take accountability nor refute anything in life.

As I am a person of very specific convictions in life.. I offer this thought on truth…

If you believe that truth is in the “eye of the beholder” then does it really matter? Do the decisions you make in life based on your specific truth mean what you think it means – if it only means that to you? How can man live with purpose and direction with such a mediocre resolve?

Truth is not subjective, elusive, and ephemeral. It is objective, glorious, demanding, exalting, and, ultimately in some aspect of life there must be a truth that supersedes opinion…

mmmm…
