The Truth

The Truth The Whole Truth. And: Nothing But The Truth. *** There's No Way I Can Do That... I Can't Swear To That! *** Are You Serious?! The WHOLE Truth? *** Nobody Can Do That. Even If They Tried... It's More Than What It Was: When It's New New New New New... *** Impossible. Whoever Said: "It Is Too!" (Possible.) Is Lying. No Way. -Gray Squirrel 06-07-2025

hmm now makes me think to another question about that theory. if we tell a blind person, 'snow is white' how does he know its the 'truth' ?.. or one theory could be .....'we are all blind to ' truth'

"The Way, The Truth and The Life*," are redefined by every mind. Unconditional Love and Absolute Forgiveness aren't Opinions, they are Perspective. *Or Is It "Light?"

yes l agree but here 's a thought.. what we are 'sure of' can be absolute. l looked up the meaning if 'truth' scholars keep pondering over it. Its interesting that Jesus said at his Trial ' l am the way, the truth and the life' Pilate asked him' what is truth' ? Pilate wasnt being disparaging asking that, he was an intelligent man. Whether a person believes in God or not, Jesus proved he was 'The Truth' because he forfilled all prophecy that his first disciples saw. The unknown was answered.

Trust and Truth Don't Relate As Much As We Think... One Can Accurately Convey A FalseHood... Tell The Truth, But Intentionally Mislead... Use Words To Explain What You Consider To Be True, But Words Are Never Fully Accurate...

It's Hard Enough With All The Unknowns To Understand Anything, Much Worse Having To Deal With So Many Deliberate Innaccuracies On Top Of That. Maybe Not Blind, But Certainly Fogged In.

White Is An Ambiguous Concept, Not An Actuality. We May Be Absolutely Sure, But What We're "Sure" Of, At Most! Is Purely Personal.

This is so interesting. Many intellectuals have theorised what is 'truth'. Many now agree it's 'blurred' from it's meaning. So, 'what is truth' ?

Remove everything that isn't, and there it is! In theory...
