Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 L.E: The Truth is what is, what exists and that includes everything. Even what we ordinarily call lies. It is only amoung humans in contrast to everything else that exists, that what is and what is not truth is discussed. In every other life form or substance, there is no division between truth and lies. The existant nature of all things is their truth which is just what things are, including us. This situation comes from language and shared words. Only humans lie. Larry Epston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within language there is the notion of " true " meaning correct, accurate, etc. A " lie " is, in that context, the opposite of what is true. But there is another notion of truth... which is authenticity. That notion has nothing to do with language or even the notion of lies. Truth as pertaining to what is of the heart corresponds to authenticity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOVIES, I AM AND PICKLES In the narrowest conception called " I Am " Lives an unidentified source, How this source appears is __________ (By filling in your very own blank). I honestly know how exacting and detracting This monumental task can be, daunting and haunting Remnant variations on a theme, not necessarily on Paganini, but if you would follow any chronology, It would seem to me, in the order of circumstances are Invested the earliest recollection of your investment In the lock stock and barrel, (pickles, however, come free) Of what is most certainly deemed possible, yet highly improbable, Therefore, what we have here is a couple of things: " A failure in communication " , " what, you can't handle the truth " , Taken out of context from a few good movies about cool hands And the gospel of Luke.
