Sitting. Wondering.
How does a society let itself get so deranged and immersed into it’s own ego? One person insisting they know how things are while the next insists on the same knowledge though based on completely different facts. I’ve come to this conclusion. I don’t believe in the facts anymore. I’ve been given facts before only to realize that it was more of a theory based on the accepted method of logic at the time. It’s only ‘truthfulness’ was dependent on certain unknown factors and individual intuition, or logic, if you want to call it that.
Truth can’t contradict itself. It can’t be applied through an egocentic mind trying to prove that individuals rationale and expect it to be truthful.
Religion itself isn’t the answer. Neither is science. We simply do not know enough to draw any final conclusion to anything. Any theory can be debunked if we spin what little we actually know just the right way. Any theory can become logical if we throw it into a certain context.
In our generation, truth is based in ego. Not reality. I don’t believe in truth any longer. I don’t think the human mind and ego is capable of adhereing to it. I just want to know how it really is. To me, reality trumps all of the truth, or so called truth, we know. Now if I could overcome myself enough to see things as they really are and get on with understanding.
The human mind is a slimy thing. Deranged and twisted, ignorant and arrogant. We set out to prove our own theories at any cost so that we can be ‘right’ even if it means we take the sparse facts, twist and exaggerate them into full ‘truths’. We hate being wrong about the way things are.
They say the truth hurts, but it isn’t truth that is painful, it’s reality.
So the final question is, What is Real?
