What? Are you saying you have discovered a universal definition for " The Truth"? How wonderful! Let's have your definition and a few examples.Thinking

The "truth" is what ever the psycho pointing the gun at you wants it to be.

Well that theories flawed in a glaringly obvious way, any other definitions?

"The truth" is whatever is politically correct.

"The truth" is not a lie.
Look, people have gone mad and lived their lives in caves eating bugs off the walls trying to get enlightened to know the "truth". The truth is beyond our understanding, no one knows the answers, people are just pitiful animals, can't they be happy in their ignorance, death is a gift not a curse.

'Death is a gift not a curse.'

I thought the opposite when my mum died when I was 15.

Go drink some koolaid, fool.

And I thought the opposite when both of my parents died. I certainly didn't feel very 'gifted' and I'm sure they didn't either.

"No-one who decides that scientific evidence is not for him and that his own experience or the stories of others is the be all and end all of deciding what's true ever has the right to call people searching for reliable, repeatable evidence narrow-minded. That is hypocrisy of the most laughable kind." Derren Brown - Tricks of the Mind.

How did you come to understand the truth is beyond understanding?

How do you know no one knows the answers?

You are accomplishing nothing except contradicting yourself. No different than a man stating when faced with chaos "I can't comprehend it, therefore I can!" These are patentably absurd claims.

There is no such thing as 'The truth" that I have ever seen.

What the fuck is koolaid? Is it some kind of American sugary fizzy shit?
I mean death being a gift, to get out of eternal pain. Imagine if nothing died, the planet would be covered by bacteria in 24 hours. Life needs death.

Mate I'm 64 years old,in poor health,and often in pain. I savour every waking moment of every day. I would rather be miserable and alive than dead,thank you very much. I am the only one competent to judge if death will be a blessing to me. Right now,it ain't.
