How to find it?

The truth

Reality as we see it may not be the truth, but the truth will always be a reality. We seek the truth because we know the truth exists. We don’t seek something we imagine. If we seek something we imagine, it means we are asleep. Will a man seek a lost wife if he hasn’t been married yet?

Even then, though nature tells us the truth exists, finding it is not at all that easy – the same as finding in a forest, a runaway bride – a bride with many faces.

The nature of truth

It exists. It is what it was. It is what it is. And, it is what it will be. The Truth doesn’t change with reality. The truth is not affected by time. It is not modified by human knowledge. It does not compromise with intellect or emotions. It is simply the truth and there’s nothing we can do about it. It is an independent uninfluenced and can’t be manipulated variable.  

Finding the truth

Many scholars argued about what the truth is. Philosophical and Scientific approaches to explain it in the most clear of definitions have been continuously offered; yet a satisfying definition we find none. Could it be that we are looking at a reality but not the truth? Or maybe the truth has been discovered already but many of us are still looking because we think we can find something we can use to control it.

I believe that in order to find the truth, we must know the source. To know the source, we must believe. To believe, we must observe. To observe, we must be aware it exists.

However, to know it is the truth we found, that truth has to be put to the test. I believe anyone can test it. How should we test it? We disprove its nature. Having found evidence to prove that what we deem to be true crosses the boundary of the nature of truth signs the statement that it is probably not the truth.

The question… when we find the truth, can we handle it?
