What is truth? (A)

 


   There are many aspect to what it is believed to be the truth. Here's a small story which I know many of you have heard before in different ways.
   I AM going to make a short and quickly so don't worry if I did not write it in the correct way. There are three flies that see something in a distant. One fly decide to go over there and see what it is. When the first flight came back he describe it as something big flat and gray. The second fly the not believe him, so he decided to go a see it for himself. When he came back he said that you were not completely true. It was gray, but it was a long hose and below lots of air. That third fly did not believe any of the two, so he decided to go a sees it for himself. When he came back he said, both of you are wrong except for it was gray, but it was not flat nor was it a hose. But the truth was, that it was a long whip that almost knocked me out.
   All three of them saw the same thing but describe it differently. So who is telling the truth? The answer all three of them. The only different is that all three see the truth in a different position. And just in case you're wondering what it was, it was an elephant.

       And now I will tell you some a story using metaphor regarding to this subject. You will also see pictures of building designed by by Frank Lloyd Wright. There are different metaphor that I can use, but for now I will use building as an example. The actual building will represent everything that is true to you. Although not everybody may like the style of the house, but for you it is your truth. You should never impose upon other people how they should build a house, unless they asked for suggestion or some guide.

[The beginning of your life]

   In order to function in our live we have to have certain basic foundation. Usually these foundation of created on the very beginning of our life. If you have parents that also have very good foundation they will use their design as a guide for building our own foundation. And as you grow up you will build the house according to your personality, your taste, your ideas and your perspective. Also the construction of the house has to do with the environment and your surrounding. And remember although you live in a house it does not mean that you are part of the house, but is only a reflection of who you are.

[When you become a teenager]

   And when you reached to be a teenager you may then decide that you have now different use of life a new form of truth. You may like the foundation but the design of the house begins to go a transformation. Now you have other views of what is the truth. You will probably do some changes to one part of the house, but will use some of the material in the construction.

[When you become an adult]

   And now when you wish to be an adult you have lived and experienced many different things. And now you may decide to change the design of the house for now you have other views of what is the truth to you. Although you still have the basic foundation that you had since the beginning. Now you become a parent and you would use as a guide your design foundation to help your child laid his foundation.

[When you become an elder]

   And now when you wish to be an elder you have learned so much, experience so much and seen so many different things. Now the truth is taking a whole new form. And now you say that your whole entire house we need to be taken down to create a new and more complete design. You will take some of the materials that was use for the house including the foundation, to build a bigger and stronger foundation for your new house.Your child and other will see your design an example of what is the truth to you.



     I hope this metaphor was not as complicated as a may look like. Basically what I'm trying to tell you that your truth may not be necessarily other people truth. The house is a symbol of how you perceive your life to be true. The house can have different design, shape, material and color. Each part of the design will reflect a point of view that you have toward life.

[A bad foundation]

   Although other people may have a building that does not look sturdy it does not mean you should come and knock the building just because it does not fit your truth.They may live a happy and fruit full life. They may still be good material but place on the wrong way. They may have a lot of good truth though can come out of this building.

    That is all I have to say at this moment regarding to the subject. But I will touch the subject in the near future.
