We are all on our own quest for truth, from our own perspectives.  There seems to be no great "absolute" truth repository anywhere, let alone any directions to it.  We live our lives, day by day, and hope for the best, but must be prepared for the worst.  We can do no more than that, and to think otherwise is utter foolishness.

I totally agree with you curiosity. Your perception is only as big as your experiences. And each person's perception is different because they have different experiences. Each has their own path to walk and that path is that individules own truth. So what is true for one person isn't necessarily true for the next.

 

Somewhere out there is the Ultimate Truth but like you said in human form we cannot comprehend it.

 

Great question and quote...thanks Justy...

PS...I just wanted to add...if you have an open mind a great little book to get is "The Messiah's Handbook" by Richard Bach. To me all of Richard's writings are excellent!

Cogito  Ergo  Sum -- Rene Descartes -- I think therefor I am--

That is the only fact that can be proven, the rest could all be your imagination..

Some others say that Mathematics is the only Absolute Truth.

Yep, I was gonna say Mathamatic's too, Indigo.  Thats what my son used to say, anyway.  He was a mathamatical genius..he was so amazing. 

 

He committed suicide when he was at Michigan State Univ. when he was only 19.   We used to have the:  'if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it does it still make a noise'  conversations all the time.

 

GOD I MISS HIM!

 

 I wish I could have one more day with that kid.  One more hour.  ONE MORE MINUTE!

 

luv,

Hi Karen,

I can SO relate to what you're saying here.  I will always picture Jesse in his blue jeans and t shirt, or this hood thing he used to wear.  He will always be young in my mind.

 

Do you know I still have his shoes that he died in?  I cant seem to throw them away...it's been over 10 years!  I also have his hood thing that he used to wear all the time and his hat.  I made this big giant blanket with a lot of his clothes, and I'm really glad I did that.  When I see this blanket I see Jesse.

 

Karen, I also buried Jess in a suit too.  Why do we do that?  I wanted to bury him in his regualr clothes but thought it'd be tacky or whatever.  But ya know, it doesn't matter Karen.  Our son's are fine, waiting for us, watching over us.  They are wearing whatever the heck they want now.  Maybe even a pair of wings! 

 

luv ya,

sue

Wow, before I got back to the real world I would lay in my bunk and think about this very quote! Truth is I had a case set for trial about the time this was posted, I remember reading the posts here and not contributing much because I was in such a dark place (blaming everyone but me for my circumstances) and was satisfied with being bitter. I don't remember if I posted this or not but the truth has changed for me. I did'nt know what I had till I lost it for the FIFTH time, I know what I have now, I am in the processs of bettering it. The truth is I've been at this very spot in my life before I only hope I can stick to the plan this time. I'm on suboxone played the doctor for 32mg a day,just enough for Amber and I, back in school,enjoying the kids,but despite my good intentions I plan a relapse at least twice a wek. I wake up don't take my meds, make the call when my eyes start to water,anxiously await the call skip out the back door of the school,get in Bebo's van hand over my hard earned pennies and make all the pain go away. I must be a fool because this dance always ends the same way,my beautiful mistress always leaves me cold and alone.

Just went back and reread this through my lazy eyes, I am sorry about the typ'os I just got a laptop and am trying to get used to it> thanks for your understanding
