No Truth is Truth
Some things I have noticed about "Truth Seekers" and "Conspiracy Theorists" is quite interesting and the roots run deep in psychological flaws(superiority complex), a need to be "right", and the inability to accept that personal control/free-will is an illusion. There also seems to be a low level of spirituality in the truth seeker as their focus is obsessed with topics of the "world" as opposed to the spirit within. Spiritual in this sense should not be confused with religious as the truth seeker is definitely a my God is the only God type of personality. Religion and beliefs have been the cause of all wars, atrocities, and deaths known to man so it is completely understandable how religion and truth seeking go hand in hand.
"I have the Truth and you don't"
"My God is the only God and your God is false"
"This land is mine and not yours"
"My ideology is right/true yours is wrong"
Etc. Etc.
Notice what is the one commonality in all of these statements and you will see it is "I" "Me" "My" which is evidently Ego.
The source of all unhappiness is the Ego. The source of the unhappiness that lies within the truth seeker is ego. The fear of being "lied" to drives the Ego.
So what is truth?
In my opinion, nothing is true as we cannot even define simple truths. This can be easily realized if we look at something such as a car for example.
We look at a car and call it a car, yet a car is also metal, rubber, plastic, palladium. So one could argue that a car is not a car, and its metal. Another person could argue that a car is not a car and its plastic. You get the point. Both parties are actually "right". One argues with the consensus and another states an equally true point. The argument could go one forever without there ever being a mutual agreement as both parties "know" they are right and the other is wrong.
What a crazy way to live if everyone walked around arguing about if a car was really a car.
The funny thing about the car example is that there are actually people who argue and stand behind even larger agendas of "truth" and spend many wasted hours showing the world their "truth". These truth seekers spend countless hours writing blogs, making videos, and some even writing songs dedicated to how "right" they are. It's pretty crazy as sometimes their truth is not even based in any actual direct experience or evidence. Sources will be Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, YouTube Videos, articles not written by them etc etc etc. Its really quite amusing to witness and also sad in some regards that these types are so fanatical in their beliefs that they think everyone else is crazy who doesn't agree. They seem to think their opinions of "truth" are going to change the world in a world where nothing is true. They are chasing an invisible dragon and will argue with anyone that says they can't see the dragon they are chasing.
If you run into a truther they are really easy to mess with and some can even be borderline psychopaths. Give it a try sometime if you so dare.
Watch how crazy they get when you disagree with them. Its really fun. . You can fly this person into a rage of lunacy quite easily as they don't know how to communicate because their feeble minds are so deeply consumed in the elusive truth they defend. They will argue with all types of evidence and ask you to prove yourself as they fail to realize that in a world of no truth one does not have to prove anything.
Maybe I'm the crazy one for not being obsessed with the news, war, Hitler conspiracies, round earth vs flat, vaccines, the government etc etc.
But then again, I'm just a sheep. . . :)
This was posted in the health section because I'm concerned for some of the obsessive truth seekers mental well being
While they can be infuriating to talk to, sometimes it can be a bit fascinating to actually deconstruct the "mind set" of these people. I had a nice little chat (if you can call it that) with a flat earther a few weeks back. The content of the chat was garbage but the actual logic that this person used to justify their arguments was a bit fascinating. I concluded by the end of the conversation that he was probably mentally deficient or had an extreme personality disorder.
The interesting part is they also never seem to have an end game. . . i.e. If the earth IS flat, now what. LOL :)
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
Nice post, make you think.
And a nice funney note at the and 😜
truth should be complete picture of an event, from all angles, all aspects, all consequences, reasons, personal characteristic and history of each actor, and their mutual relations, including all relevant factors of geopolitical, social, traditional... blah, blah.... see, truth exists, but no truth is really worth such big and life dedicating effort. simply because noone will read it. and it wont make much sense, like life never does.
we will never have enough information about anything, except about pieces which will be out of context.
and our opinion depends on luck in finding info, ability to analyse it, and about our own capacities, like, in which moment we will decide its boring, stop researching and keep believeing in what we found so far.
you know what shit most people believe in?
that they are normal people ^^^
:D
Like the way you speak wise fella! 😀
thanks ^ dont get me wrong, i like when people are bullshiting. no matter what nonsense they are pushing.. it makes their brains blink blink, like xmas decorations. it cant be bad really ^
Here's a thought. My son, then 24, hitch-hiked the Christopher McCandless trail. He noted the difference between residents of the Yukon and Alaska. Metaphysically, the only thing separating them is a border construct - yet they were miles apart in their thought habits. What creates this? Do you think it might be the quality of the education that one receives in Canada v US? Perhaps money spent on public education is money well spent.

Well, you know all the pesticides that are sprayed on corn are laced with chemicals from the MK Ultra experiments so everyone in the US is mutated into dog like beings and then they can really control us. Mind control I tell ya. . . What!!! You don’t believe me. . .
