“Are your eyes more special than ours?”
“Actually, how do you see the truth? Why as if you say that right and wrong do not exist? Then how do you explain the true truth, is noble teaching like religion or morality, not a true truth?
My eyes are not special, don’t have any advantages nor strengths. Even now have to use glasses plus to read. Maybe my body asked me to see more in positively way because when I was young I saw more with negative “glasses”.
About truth, all of us who have been brought up with teachings that contain justification for the sake of justification, whose minds are limited by limited concepts of justification, how can we easily recognize that infinite Truth? “
Then be familiar with every understanding that is taught to you. If it makes you limited and bound up in fanaticism, always feeling right because you feel you know the most righteousness, you are moving away from that infinite true Truth.
The dialog above is just something to accompany the picture above as participation in THEMES BY THE MONTH Challenge which had started by Kim.

I think the truth is “customized” by everyone’s own taste. The truth is sometimes hard to hear.
Your opinion is in accordance with reality, dear friend.
There are usually many version of “truth” … LOL
sometimes it depends on where and who it came from …
Seeing the reality of the world from the beginning until now, from all corners of the earth, yes, humans do have different versions of the truth.
Sometimes I also wonder what is true and what is not true, dear Albert … I love the truth on the other hand but sometimes it is better to know the truth
Live on Earth, a world where people are in systems, culture, laws, regulations, religion, etc. which all claim it as truth, surely limits the true truth which is often beyond logic. For me, it is a pleasant challenge, to see what our eyes and minds cannot see.
But I simply do not bother with this and do not think much in this direction, dear friend
I’m glad you have a simple way to stay peaceful and happy, dear friend.
Life is too short to make it difficult for unimportant things, my dear friend … even now when I’m enjoying a well-deserved rest
That’s why I admire you, dear friend
The truth is not black and white, but all shades of grey. Great thought provoking post as usual Albert! 🙂
Really, very pleasant and proud when I was visited by a wisdom guru. Thanks a lot, Kim.
There is a song about this. You might have heard it, or maybe not. It is called, “What it’s like” by Everlast. Here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA1nGPM9yHA
Beside the music, I love the lyric so much! Yes, the song illustrates well what I mean.
tHanks for the god song, Kim.
When I was reading this post, that song just popped into my head. I thought it a similar meaning. Thank you, glad you liked it! I love that song.
Thanks a lot, Kim. So glad to know the song.
I have heard the truth shall set you free, and I do believe that statement. I believe you are wise, and that is the truth. Keep speaking the truth, because many will benefit from them all. Hope you are well,
I am very well, dear LaJenna. Thank you.
I agree with those words of wisdom that have broad and deep meanings, including truth in the form of death that will unmask some parts of our ignorance. lol…
Thank you for your compliment, and if you are happy with this frog’s singing then I will continue to sing.
Are you singing on Singsnap lol?
No, not yet… Do you still sing there?
Yes at times so sing something and share it here.
I do often wonder my friend if there is a truth to be sought. Or is it the truth we have to create within ourselves that we need.
I think we are actually live in an ocean of truth that is, therefore, we never lost anything, so there is nothing to look for. We just need to see and realize it, around us and within.
ah open to the world around us rather than closed. Interesting.
At least it’s far easier and more fun than judging or assuming that something different is wrong…
hard to balance all the egos though yeah?
It is even too difficult to realize what you are saying, but that is our challenge, at least so that we are not constantly “deluded” by the Halloween holiday…
that becomes the balance that we seek always.
Truth hurts they say and the only way forward would be what can’t be cured has to be endured.
Yep! That is our problem, afraid of the truth because it often hurts because the truth is often not in accordance with our ego or mind. It seems we prefer to be sick in ignorance rather than understand and accept the truth.
I have always looked at both sides of situations in life. When you are independent for so long, only yourself to depend on, life sort of forces you to think like this. Now it has become part of me.
That perspective makes you wise, Carol. Many people know that there are two sides to a coin but they are still difficult to understand it. Maybe the coins should be swallowed… lol
It has been a mode of survival for me it seems. Thank you! So good to see you again.
That’s a great way to survive! Many people fail to survive coz they cannot see it that way.
For whatever reason, when I was sinking, I chose to swim instead of sink. Still shake my head today wondering how I got through some of those days.
Your old soul knows very well what you have to do, Carol.
Whatever the truth is, I prefer to know it.
Then I am increasingly convinced that you are a guru of wisdom.
Sometimes I prefer not to see the truth. Has it never happened to you?
I try to see the truth behind everything so that it’s easy to enjoy everything, especially things that are not pleasant to the mind like everything that has happened to me lately.
The dialog above is a question from a Leadership and Corporate Culture training participant in my class a few months ago.
Sometimes the truth is too painful. I’m sorry you have to go through unpleasant things and I hope you overcome them! Don’t forget you’re a demigod!
Indeed, truth too often hurts our egos and minds. I myself am fine with all the events that have befallen me and my family it’s just that I have to use all my thoughts, energy, time, and resources. I assume was enjoy watching a thriller or horror movie whose character is myself, the demigod himself. lol
