Is There Absolute Truth?

The sky is not always blue. Sometimes it’s many different colors. Being psychotic and times and hearing things that are not real make me wonder what truth really is. Sometimes I have told lies that at the time I believed were the truth. Is there anything that you can say about anyone that has been true all their lives as most if not all of us change over time and we deal with realities in different ways. And although I have had an unbelievable memory I can’t recall at any time every meal I ate, every word I said, or everything I ever did or that others did to me at any one moment. Often times when I say something about the past a memory that I did not process before I said it contradicts the statement I made. That has bothered me greatly that I was rarely or never being 100% truthful about anything. Also I find any statement you can make about a group of people can be contradicted by someone who is part of the group. Does absolute truth exist. I think you’d have a hard time finding any. Goodnight.

The only absolute truth is that we know nothing.

absolute truth is in science and science alone… and even within science truth is subject to change…

if you want to know what is true what is known for certain in the contemporary state… you can only study physics… because the rest is chaos. Physics is the science of what is real… and it is almost all encompassing certainly regarding all practical need. It is on the threshold of crossing beyond. Dark matter and the nature of time and multiple dimensions… we are on the brink of insights that we can’t even fathom on how to properly verify, but would revolutionize the essence of how we see the universe if we ever come across any deeper insight at all.

The truth though?

What truth do you seek? In what regard? What is the question you want a true answer to? Take that question through the rigors of philosophy or science and you might find what is close to the truth… or you might fin that the topic is regard-ably unkown… and that is the uniquity of this experience… that all the “truths” we might verifiy… there is still room to believe what pleases us… we still get to sugar coat the dark void of empty space with mysterious semmingly purposeless stuff inside with whatever slant makes us happy…

as far as I can tell. That will always be there.

atoms and photons… those are the truth… neurons if you are having an existential crisis…

People are self serving first… it actually proves better for the horde that we are self serving first and then within that though who aren’t rise above through conservativism and building decency within their social networks… they’re winners… they are stable… the rest are also happy as they are free and don’t have to worry about anyone but themselves. Even some of them “win” in classical means.

To me god doesn’t exist… quite clearly… though human minds are soppy and mushy and have a lot of chemical states of need that make things look beautiful as well as the delusional brains that tie coincidence and synchronicity into some special layer of feeling catered too… so spirituality itself is damned in my mind.

There are no extra terrrestrial visitors… though it is undoubtable that alien life exists and breaths at this moment… though to confirm would take 100s of thousands of years… so that is some future relic of contact we get to enjoy perhaps at some point.

The truth is that for some reason… humans are borderline telepathic… some beyond others… it is not psychic for it is not magic… it is not real for it is not physically possible… but there is a fine tuning of communication that exists in the potential of the realm of schizophrenia that is accurate 100% to 80% of the circumstances you are posed within… that would allow you to know and understand the entire unfolding of what is going on… and trust me… the normies hit it first and like it that way… they have the loose ends of what they consider pathways to insanity written off and squared away… their only disadvantage is that they are close minded… but they are supported by a multitude of 9 out of 10 folk who would say… “yes , keep those doors shut.” Subtly just through conveying their entire view on life within the subliminals of their first few statements… not that they are intelligent enough to do so consciously though they may become aware of it over time… but coincidentally… by the manifestation of automata that does what it has to to survive… genetic basis… then behaviors passed on and absorbed through socialization… an amalgamate of subconscious trail and error panned down to what lines up with ones internal character. Individuality maintained… (that’s a side note). The point though… none of it intentional… no one is actually self aware or nor personally crafted… most everyone chooses to just exist for happiness within themselves and disregards most all of everything else because it is insurmountably complicated and frustrating…

in the end the truth is what you make it. make the truth what allows you to be good and at peace… many of us are not inclined to harm, take from, nor disrespect other souls… that is the essence of goodness… to be harmless and take care of the self… it makes you productive on all levels and that is also good for the world.

Those are my insights… though I would question their value as being held as absolute truths.

…when my wife is in the room. :grin:

Usually the truth is harder to handle than falsehoods.

We live, learn and grow, what we would do when young often at some point we stop and become better person.
Sadly yes there are many who think they know what a person is thinking, or they have it all figured out, but in reality, they are wrong.
All we can do is live our own lives, try to do better and ignore the know it all’s. Follow the ones that truly have a proven record in the area you may be exploring, with keeping in mind it may not be for you or they could be helping you down a path that may be wrong for you.
Just because a person believes something that maybe wrong, does not make them a liar. It is what they believe and in many cases you will never change it. The old saying, choose your battles.

If your friends agree with you it’s absolutely true :smile_cat:

Not much. I suppose there are some bedrock principles I believe in, but not too many.

can you give a principle you believe in?
