What is it to be right?
Everyone thinks they’re right. The truth is seldom heard in arguments. I don’t think I know anyone who genuinely seeks truth… They all ‘know’ their own truth, and will argue the world to prove they’re right. But, really, truth is hidden among layers of arguments and opinions… Who ever is better at the sport of argument, that’s who will be right. With adequate strategy, you can ‘prove’ that gravity is a farce. No matter what point one is trying to prove, you can find an infinite layer of points to help further your case, but no matter what, the truth will always remain hidden… Silently observing what we as humans believe her to be. Without a voice of her own, she can’t help but hide underneath mountains of fancy wordplay and stubborn men.
Descartes believes that thoughts are the only truth there is. And that is about as concrete of a truth I have been able to find myself. We all perceive the world differently. Even from a moral and spiritual stand point, there is no way to find a 100% congruity amongst our thoughts when mirrored to another’s. I just wish that more people accepted the fact that we know nothing, and the only way to learn is to empty our minds and rid ourselves of preconceived notions.
I bring this noble message, but I am most guilty of being stubborn and succumbing to my own truths. To be wise is a life long journey, and I doubt I have even stepped out the door.
