The truth is a funny thing...
People are constantly searching for it.
We all long for truth in our relationships and aspire to live by the truth.
But what is the truth?
Is it what you believe to be true? What if what you believe contradicts what 5 other people say is the truth? Who do you believe? Yourself? Or do you acknowledge what the others are saying and question whether your memory is skewed?
I believe that the truth is something we may never know. Whatever happens, details will fade, our past experiences will obscure how we view what is going on and perhaps make it impossible for us to really see the truth of what is happening right before us.
For me, the only things I know are true are my feelings. Not just every day feelings.. but the ones that I sit there and question and test their validity.. because if there is one person I know can't ever lie to me.. it's myself! I know how I feel about people and events... my feelings are true.
I feel that the only way to know truth is to be open to the possibility that you might not know it.. to take into consideration what others are saying and test your feelings and memories.. because truth will stand the test.. if it is in fact the truth.
