You had wrote in your last post, "to the degree that our minds understand, and know reality, we have truth." I must say that it is entirely tenable for anyone to use the argument that one can perceive truth through the obsevations of "reality." However this inclination would still revolve around the statement that there is an actual "given truth" of "acceptable form of knowledge" and that such inclinations must first be examined and interpretated by the individual mind. In short, if the understanding of truth comes through our experiences in the realm of "reality" then not only would there be seperate representations of truth, and a myriad of "degrees" and "levels" for every particle of uderstanding that one might fancy, but a definite seperation of uniform facts, now if a seperation has occured than that would give someone the indication that it is impossible to foster the preposterous idea that there can co-exist truth and falsity, and still maintain the harmony of the said statements: "There is most often a mixture of truth and error." and "We must first see something is true before it can be changed." If these levels of truth are indeed the epicenter of all other logical conclusions, than we must conclude that truth can be found everywhere we look, in many different forms and dialouges, for the knowledge of truth is only seen through our own myopic sight. So then we see that the more our minds understand, and know truth, the easier it is to approach reality. Although I do not agree with everything that you write; this does not mean that I am being prideful or that I have chosen to sin. I told someone the other day that there has been a shift in my life, something has changed. I am not the same person I used to be. This may not be very popular, but I don't care. I was born a fighter, and for a long time I have struggled with myself, trying to conform to the regulations that society and mankind have imposed. No man or institution will silence the truth, and as long as my soul has breath and this heart still has a rhythm in my chest; I will not back down, I will not give up, the world may break my spirit, they may knock out my teeth for speaking the truth, but I will not stay silenced no matter the consequence; whether I am alone or accompanied by friends, I will overcome, no matter the distance I will rise up to defend the rights of every man, woman, and child, even the gates of hell will not prevent me from this course, nor deter my path; For "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom, shall I fear the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom, shall I be afraid?" Psalms. 27:1.
