Truth is relative and personal. There is no TRUTH, so to speak and who would know what it was, if it did exist? Each of us sees things differently so what was true to one person wouldn’t be true to another. Thinking that’s there’s a TRUTH is what makes life so difficult because those in power want everyone to live by their truths and their truths have noting to do with our lives. Churches do the same thing. Truth only exists for us on a personal level. It can’t be any other way. But we can become wise by listening to ourselves and not to others. That’s my truth.

Like the symbol and its meaning. I see you live in Ann Arbor, which is near Detroit. I like the Detroit music scene with Jack White hailing from there, Iggy Pop and most of all Bob Seger.

I just wrote a massive comment and then somehow lost it before I could press “Send”so now frothing hopelessly at my technical. I left a whole load of quotes about truth ending with “A wiser and a sadder man” which is what an understanding of truths can bring you. Thank you, as always, for prodding me to think 🙂

Beth,
I have not heard back from the winner of Where Do Fairies Go When it Snows Louise Gardner Walsh, so I picked a runner-up and it is YOU. I am giving the winner until Tuesday to send me her address. Please send me your address and if I don’t hear from her, I will get it out to you. Kathy.temean@hotmail.com
Happy New Year.
Kathy

So many people are scared of the truth. Ive just had a friend who whose partner left her.. He said that he never wanted to get married (they were 18 and engaged), but was merely doing it to please her. She was stuck in this illusion and externalised her fear of being alone. Confronting the fear…is indeed confronting the truth. If she did so…she would be totally set free. I can’t wait to see her do so…shes so close!

You brought in Chinese, and that gave me the idea of looking up Goethe’s original German version:
“Die Weisheit ist nur in der Wahrheit.”
“Wisdom is only in truth.”

I like the earlier comment that truth is relative – unfortunately – nothing is absolute – not even the truth!
