Misconception Of My Truth Comments

Hi Jeremy, The word pluralism comes to mind. Learning about the basis of another concept of truth is the only valid respect of truth itself. A very wonderful poem which I feel leaves this question open. My poetry is constantly emphasizing this point of view. No one should feel they possess the ultimate truth rather they should further study the universe within their essence. Thanks for sharing, Paul

Pontius Pilate, very well versed in the Greek rhetoric of the day, facing all of the factious political struggles of Palestine, asked the very question when faced with the Jewish leaders demanding he crucify trouble-making, self-styled rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth. What is truth? he asked. We are forever doomed to estimations of truth, as we are, by design, receivers of data transmitted by sources outside of ourselves, received through fallible systems of sensory input sensitive to context and environment, processed by fallible bio-systems of analysis, and stored in fallible systems of organic data management. If truth is an objective, inflexible reality, a precise delineation of a series of fractionations of an infinitely fractionating multi-dimensional system-state, then we are only capable of small approximations of truth, and our appropriate demeanor in our quest of acquiring understandings of truth should always and forever, first and foremost be an attitude of utter humility. Thank you for this insightful and contemplative work.

can I relate it to Shakespeare's to be or not to be...? I found it an amazingly intriguing read.

Belief, truth, faith everything in this world are seen in relative perspective. Hope also is relative to the facts and efforts.

A cleverly worked argument and that's the truth... well, my truth.. What is subjective and what objective.. Is there a Truth referee to whom we can appeal? It is a most interesting poem and I shall come back to it often Tom Billsborough

I guess, truth is an inevtable confrontation to anyone who accidentally or deliberately unveiled himself or herself. Truth comes from controdictory, i prone to this answer.

'Their truth is an attempt to extinguish all that I know to be true, so how can their truth be trusted? ! Isn't my truth to be trusted or what I know to be true? ' Fine and beautiful lines.. A philosophically enriched poem worthy of praise.. Thanks for sharing Jeremy :)

good to know............ ok! :)

just to give you an idea about Oxfam report: Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of Oxfam International, said: “Do we really want to live in a world where the one percent own more than the rest of us combined? The scale of global inequality is quite simply staggering and despite the issues shooting up the global agenda, the gap between the richest and the rest is widening fast. “In the past 12 months we have seen world leaders from President Obama to Christine Lagarde talk more about tackling extreme inequality but we are still waiting for many of them to walk the walk. It is time our leaders took on the powerful vested interests that stand in the way of a fairer and more prosperous world. “Business as usual for the elite isn’t a cost free option – failure to tackle inequality will set the fight against poverty back decades. The poor are hurt twice by rising inequality – they get a smaller share of the economic pie and because extreme inequality hurts growth, there is less pie to be shared around.” -

Each has his own truth, but to know is not necessarily to understand.

Feel that if you put your words more concisely and get rid of repetition you will have an excellent poem, the ideas are already there, just need to be more organized. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn Example: (Belief is that half truth I was misled into accepting when my mind was vulnerable and untrue, being set up to be subdued by their truth although it was not mine) .

I found it very interesting, like a play which asks for an anwser, a solution, a riddle, an enigma.
