[QUOTE="newsincerity, post: 46298, member: 400"] I will put aside measurable data and mathematics and focus on the aspect of truth that fascinates me. Applicable truth regarding the individual. [B]Introduction[/B] Human beings live in a society built on lies and deception. From the first moment coming to this world, unless we are very lucky we fall into the hands of people living false lives. This isn't necessarily bad. Falsehood allows humans to get ahead in society and get along with other false people. It's an adaptive strategy that works for achieving the common modern goal of comfortable life. The downside is without contact with truth we numb our sense of truth and inevitably lose the capacity to live true lives. Instead we exist in systems of beliefs and base our identities on them. [B]What is truth?[/B] Truth is nothing if not useful. The most critical is truth concerning [B]you[/B] and noone else. That is also the truth we tend to avoid at all cost. [B]How do we know truth?[/B] Through feeling and inner knowing. It's not an intellectual thing and is more in line with purity. Human beings have something in them that responds to truth. We can verify new information with experience or logic. But truth doesn't have to be logical. Truth is directly felt. When you hear it you're disturbed and speechless or you want to deny it. Truth disregards your feelings dispels all nonesense and destroys your carefully crafted beliefs. Belief is the number one enemy of truth. [/QUOTE]
