Bare naked truth
I asked a Twitter pal to give me a topic for today’s blog, and she offered up a doozy: The value or not of bare naked truth: Is truth a fact, or relative?
Truth is one of my favorite subjects, so this should be fun, though I have covered truth-ish ground before. A line from a previous blog on the subject: “Fuck the truth.”
The problem with truth as I see it is that I’m not smart enough to figure out what it is. Almost everyone I talk to knows the truth. Feels kind of like I’m a kid getting ditched. How come I don’t get to know the truth too?
Waaah. It’s just not fair.
Truth is a fact and it’s relative at the same time. Lots of stuff is always true, regardless of circumstances. And one can speak the truth, such as: the dog did not eat my homework. That’s a truth. It is fact.
But then there’s that other Truth, the Big Truth, the one I never get to know. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s relative, dependent on the viewpoint of the truth speaker. Can a measly human being really know the One Truth for All Eternity? Kinda doubt it, though I keep trying.
One thing to remember, truth is only a word. Real truth is not a word.
It’s true, I swear!

(thank you @forgetfulheart)
It’s something you play with, just like us. Our only difference may be whether or not we do it to get to know it better.
Thanks Ron, I do think the truth is out there somewhere. Just not sure where! Sure is a fun toy, though. Good for using as a football.
Actually falsehood can be terribly hurtful, so there is definitely some good to be found in truth, other than as a plaything.
ah Truth how I love thee, you and your wily ways..
Truth is a slippery bugger at times, eh la? What would be do without it, though….
i wonder if i could handle the truth?
or if i would want to if it was bare and naked?
is that why i dress it up?
xx
I have the feeling you could handle it Azyh, bare or not. Interesting question about the dressing, though. Adam and Eve dressed up to hide the truth, why not the rest of us?

aH Ha
Bare Naked Truth for me is….
The tears escaped
The smiles I win
And all that matters therein
I’m thinking of late, if you feel it, it’s real… If it’s real it’s true…..
Reality is relative.
In short…the truth is relative.
Ha aH
Sometimes my problem solving process is Asymmetrical. It’s a reflective thing.
Truly Symmetrical.
ps
Thanks for the generous mention x
Thanks Truly. I’m more of an emotion than thought guy. What I’m into is how stuff makes me feel, not the thoughts it makes me think. So emotional truth is a biggie, even though other people may not think it’s “true”. Who cares what they feel about it, if you feel it’s true?

dunno what we’d do without the truth… reminds me of that movie that came out recently – The Invention of Lying http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1058017/ …. interesting concept to think about!
Thank goodness for little truths. It’s the big ones that create all the havoc. I’ll have to check out that movie. Thanks la, and see you soon on DD for our NaNoWriMo extravaganza!
