WHAT IS TRUTH? HOW IS IT MANIFEST? In my opinion (and some of you) truth is one of the more critical pursuits that humans should have. What is truth? Truth is a thing, situation, thought that is a fact, is based on reality. (Thus when people are not basing their assertions, argumentative positions, philosophies on truth foundations, they become DELUSIONAL. (And delusional people actually believe their truth to be the TRUTH, and when you attack their position various defenses take place, including ad hominem fallacies, they create straw men, move the goal post. If we are humble to the answers and solutions truth a thing, situation, or person that actually exists, as it / he/she actually happened, whether or not the outcome seemed positive, negative or neutral. In my opinion, in nature truth exists without human intervention. But it is possible for some humans to assist others in identifying / finding the truth, in several or one specific aspect of living/life. HOW IS IT MANIFEST? As indicated above, it can be shown/manifested via a human showing it, or showing the direction/path to acquire it. WHY DO ELITE FEAR THE TRUTH SO MUCH? Because knowing the truth about their abuses history, we then would not worship them and definitely would tie them to the nearest tree (by their limbs via ropes) for an early morning Catholic style STRETCH. The elite also fear truth because if you know the truth, then you dont need them. SLIPPERY SLOPE: Often what is said to be the truth, or the person called the truth bearer is actually either fully or primarily incorrect in the supposedly truthful assertions, thus far too many humans find themselves LOST because the foundation of their understanding of life, is based on entirely or in major portion, falsities/lies/non-truths (is that even a truthful word lol). Truth does not change over time. The truth a million years ago would still be that truth today, no matter what language you translate it into. If the translation is correct (and not inaccurate) then the truth should still exist. But often during transliteration or translation, the truth is lost as humans, due to the biases they have learned from their society, etc, infuse lies into translations. Troth: Truth can be absolute, objective, relative or subjective. All the above were based on my reflection on ABSOLUTE TRUTH. The problems inherent in such discussions occur when one person is stating something as though it were an ABSOLUTE TRUTH when it is merely a SUBJECTIVE TRUTH, or an OBJECTIVE TRUTH as though it were an ABSOLUTE TRUTH, etc. I trust that the initial parts of my post that I deemed to be ABSOLUTELY TRUTHFUL were not mixed with SUBJECTIVE TRUTHS. In fact, it could be argued that all truths are SUBJECTIVE, since even an ABSOLUTE TRUTH may not impact a person who has either a psychological or physiological barrier, physical barrier, or another roadblock that impedes their ability to see, hear, understand, feel or find, etc that ABSOLUTE TRUTH. In my opinion, it is highly likely that the Greeks, Romans, and future societies based on Roman, and / or Greek philosophy, are actually using TRUTH which comes from TROTH (and ancient African / Egyptian God) the connection is not in bold but often hidden in even some European academic literature and communications. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoth. Info on the Egyptian God Troth: QUOTE: He also appears as a dog faced baboon or a man with the head of a baboon when he is Aan, the god of equilibrium. In the form of Aah-Djehuty he took a more human-looking form. These forms are all symbolic and are metaphors for Thoths attributes. The Egyptians did not believe these gods actually looked like humans with animal heads. For example, Maat is often depicted with an ostrich feather, the feather of truth, on her head, or with a feather for a head. We could reflect on the above more, and / or critique this post and improve on it. Thanks everyone. Lets continue to build. This is a work in progress. By: Hotep Kenyatta
