What is truth but a multitude of little truths... sort of like an amalgam of Leibniz's monad philosophy and the monism of Spinoza. There is beautiful symmetry in dichotomy... now what of trichotomy? There is symmetry in nature and there is symmetry in truth... Only the abstract can encompass it all, so lets not be too liner.
If you have sarcastic, profound and/or absurd (the three are not mutually exclusive) thoughts I want to hear them (or read them in this case), for like a tree falling in the forest a thought cannot be veritable until you have two ordinates with which to qualify it (like drawing a line) - this is an example of sarcasm, but its sounds profound, right - (yeah, right)? I think truth can be found on the border of reason and absurdity.
In other words.. Shakespeare was right (though he never directly stated it - but what did Shakespeare ever directly state?)
In a world of reason - it is only the jester that is wise....
To laugh in the face of socially constructed truth is to have found enlightenment.
As the lotus blossom grows from the mud, so does our realization of self -> we are only the product of our environment if we choose to be, but beauty itself stems from something greater..
We lock ourselves in our own cage... Then give our enemies the key to it... Why do we do this? Because to learn we have freedom we must first be captive - to fly we must first have fallen; to live we must first have died....
If I claim to be a wise man, that surely means that I don't know... and the truth is ---> Nobody knows and I rule out NOTHING!
Looking beyond the surface and analyzing what lies (yes, not "lays" for you grammar aficionados) beneath the seemingly fundamental layer of our realm of understanding is the purpose of life.
Exchange of though is a crucial component of my existence, not because I want to get into an intellectual dog fight, but because I don't think that there is any one absolute truth to anything and interacting with people who use reason and creativity to push the bounds of truth and knowledge, for me, is a growing experience.
I enjoy interacting with members of the rare breed of people who can tactfully point out faults in the reasoning of others and also be man(or woman) enough to have someone else subtly point out the like in their own. This takes people with confidence and intellect, which are a rare couple of traits as it is.
