Truth…

April 6, 2005 – 1:05 pm |

Is there such a thing as absolute truth?

People always seem to have different perceptions of what the truth is. There are always different sides and versions of every story, different points of view, and every version is further interpreted in various ways by the people learning of it.
So how can there be one absolute truth? How can anyone ever be sure which version is the true one? How can anyone be sure that their intrepretation of the truth is true?

I guess the only things we can be sure are absolutely true are things that are fixed, invariable, unalterable facts that can be unquestionably proven one way or the other.

Other than that, truth is pretty relative, as it depends on how you look at things, which strips it of its right to be called truth and makes it more of a belief.

People mostly just believe that some things are true or right without them having to be.

    It kinda’ reminds me of a show. I don’t remember the name, but it would show a crime from many different perspectives. And although it seems like everyone saw the same thing, the different perspectives change everything! So you’d see the perpetrator’s, the victim’s, the witness’, the cop’s, and the EMT’s perspective. It was a pretty cool concept. Anyway, kinda’ pertained to this entry of yours. :-)

    I would love to watch such a show Jenn :)
    I really find it interesting to see different reactions and interpretations to one same thing.
