5.3 Truth and Reality

Please bear with me a little on the subject of 'Deep Truth'..

So in law there are terms which the legal profession refuses to 'define'.. like 'deceptive conduct'.. instead they are left to the judgement of a reasonable person. To define such terms literally is just too limiting.. does that mean we have understanding which we cannot adequately express in written form? In law when we require a credible public commitment from a person to tell the truth we do it on the basis of their 'faith'.. in whatever they hold dearest.. and that does not include any other mortal.. it's either God or Self.

In social and family relationships we only need ask about the meaning of love to open the most enigmatic subject surrounded by deep mystery.. without it we die is that a deep truth? I cannot hope to cover the social sphere but the problem of evil has to be mentioned.. its a purely human thing.. but what is it? Where does it come from and why are we as easily capable of evil as of good? Are their evil people or are we all just as capable.. and in some way culpable?

In physics its not difficult to see with the need to invent dark energy, dark matter or super tiny strings in 10 dimensions etc.. the truth is indeed very deep and elusive.. but we must seek it.

It does not matter what area of knowledge you pick.. that truth exists and can be discovered is a given but as the verified knowledge base grows so do the questions. Questions come from the presumption of an answer.. "the truth is out there", so we are not only entitled but compelled to ask if there is a God, who is he?. So the question arises.. How far can we go in in this quest? I now need to introduce a new principle concerning truth.. next time.

Have a very good day..
