TRUTH OR FALSE
Reading Adesola blog and watching the videos I'm thinking on the subject of truth.
Living in today's world we have to face daily processes of truths, "semi-trues" and lies in order to navigate our work environment, our relationships and our beliefs.
As I understand historical truth has always belonged to those who write them.
Social Media has also created a wider grey area between truth and false stories. History facts have been passed on through generations and cultures as absolute truths but with the advent of the internet and increase of accessibility to further resources, what we understood as truth keeps changing.
Nothing is absolute anyway since just by force of being defined absolute in would need another absolute, by questioning the absolute, it stops being absolute. This is perhaps why so many people seek solace in scientific methods to justify many ideas and concepts. But even Science is not absolute and keeps moving. The ideas of Karl Jung on Earth metaphysics were initially considered almost absurd but Science is now researching further on metaphysical concepts. So, even Science is not fully concrete and passively conclusive in many areas. In the 1950's cigarettes were thought to be good for human health. Now, it's proven they are not. Truth looks different to all of us as we look at it through our own subjective lenses and what is important for me may be simple rhetoric for someone else. It is only by being individually compassionate, using our emotional intelligence, that we can approach each person's truth to our own and connect to a collective awareness of truth that we build ourselves, and, this keeps changing. Truth seems to be evasive and a concept that keeps changing in itself.
