My Truth, Your Truth, The Truth
I've never bought into the "Your Truth/My Truth" view of the Reality. I say, "Play the surveillance camera tape."
There is an external reality, I'm trying to sneak up to it as close as I can. There isn't a separate one that you can sneak up on. "Close" is as good as it gets. |

Re: My Truth, Your Truth, The Truth
The truth>my truth>your truth.
Doesn't really add much, but im sure that's how most people feel, maybe a few deluded ones would rank them my>the>your. |

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure, my sample size is too small. There seems a decent chunk of people that defend a Your or My or His and don't seem to acknowledge 'THE'. I sometimes describe it to them as what's left if everybody on earth drank the Jonestown koolaid. |

Re: My Truth, Your Truth, The Truth
I believe quantum mechanics shows that nothing exists until it is observed. Therefore, even if everyone drank the koolaid, other things with a consciousness would observe the world and it would exist.

Re: My Truth, Your Truth, The Truth
I think when people use this expression they're generally talking about motivations/beliefs/interpretions of events. It's only truly mentally ill people that are using it in a literal sense (eg. their 'truth' is that they've met the Pope when they haven't).
That expression irritates me too though. It's obviously valid to say event A leads to action A in one person and action B in another, due to different and subjective interpretations of previous events. But my experience is that on the most part, people who come up with that line are using it as a fluffy rationalisation for things they know don't make sense and/or they shouldn't be doing, and aren't particularly interested in leaving that comfort bubble. And string theory does almost, sorta, maybe, show that - but two big things to bear in mind: a. Those externals things do then exist externally, which is very different from an hallucination of some kind. b. String theory though interesting is poorly understood and so far mostly unproven. |

Re: My Truth, Your Truth, The Truth
Since today marks 25 years since John Lennon was killed, I thought the following seemed appropriate (what can I say, I am a fan):
Give Me Some Truth - John Lennon I’m sick and tired of hearing Things From uptight-short sighted- Narrow minded hypocritics All I want is the truth Just give me some truth I’ve had enough of reading Things By nuerotic-pyschotic- Pig headed politicians All I want is the truth Just give me some truth No short haired-yellow bellied Son of tricky dicky Is gonna mother hubbard Soft soap me With just a pocketful of hope Money for dope Money for rope I’m sick to death of seeing Things From tight lipped- Condescending -mommies little Chauvinists All I want is the truth Just give me some truth I’ve had enough of watching Scenes Of schizophrenic - ego - centric - paranoic - prima - donnas All I want is the truth Just give me some truth |

Re: My Truth, Your Truth, The Truth
I don't believe in a "the truth" of any kind. So I guess we disagree.
