Absolute Truth

Absolute Truth does not exist

In Physics we learnt that absolute motion does not exist and all perceived motion is in relation to the observer. Like 2 co-passengers in a train would see each other as stationary while a person standing outside the train would see both zipping by. 

Truth and the Thinker

How big is the mango? 

It has been dawning on me that the same logic applies to Truth - we feel so many things are truthful and many things are not. It depends on the person - the justification of any act is based on the truthfulness of the belief that person has. The same act or belief or principle or sayings - how truthful they are - is relative to the thinker. 

Like see Indian economy - many believe it is doing well, looking up, lot of hope etc. That is the truth for them. But I hear many others do not agree with that - for them economy is going down, inflation is up, There is no hope - this is the truth for them.

Like when I say it is a beautiful day, lovely weather and my neighbour says "The weather is really bad these days"

Recently there was this road accident where the actress Hema Malini's Benz had a collision with a Maruti car and a 2 year old toddler sitting in her mother's lap in the front of the Maruti was thrown out due to the impact and died due to want of timely medical help. This incident is seen in two lights -
Hema Malini tweeted that the father is responsible for the death of the child - Her truth

The father blamed Hema Malini for not offering timely help to the child for top-class medical treatment which she herself availed and so she is responsible - his truthful version. 

Anyway my heart bleeds for that mother who lost her child in her arms - my version of truth

The entire mankind has all sorts of truths from different angles - If we understand that and become more respectful and tolerant to each other's truth, we can have a more peaceful co-existence.

Truth is relative to the thinker 

OMG - that is the truth I believe in .
