I agree - it isn't as simple.
"the sun rises in the east" - True or false?
it's an absolute truth (depending on you being on planet earth and you agree that East is the direction opposite of west, etc.)
"Al's bakery makes the best cupcakes" - True or false?
what's true to me may not be true to you. Just like "there is a god" or "the universe is limitless".
Sometimes what we believe is absolute truth, is unbeliveably broken - "the earth is flat" "the fastest velocity achievable is the speed of light" "the atom is the smallest divisible unit of matter".... all were the best offerings of the wisest on earth, untill proven otherwise.
the question really is - "What is truth?" or specifically "What is the truth about.... " |
