Truth
"I'm sorry..."
"Alright..."
"I'm fine. Really."
Should this even be reduced this to a concept when its essence is something that is not fit to be contained within the boundaries of a description? Well, technically such a question need not even occur since that applies to many things - especially so when they collide with one's heartstrings and emotional irrationality. But then again, without confining this within such boundaries, there is no issue anymore.
Truth is desired in argument, logic and reality. When we formulate a theory or design a model - we demand certanity. When we seek to find out the details to an insurance policy - we question reliability. When we explore metaphysical theories and soundness of man beyond his existentiality - we grapple with its soundness in whatever possible way our mental faculties will allow.
But at this level - there is no need to prove that its universally accepted. Our rationality searches for it until utter clarity, and it is only impeded by illusion or apahty.
But beyond this level, our search for Truth is but in another dimension when we grapple with it in emotional terms. The self and the other - both with different backgrounds, mindsets, influences and in KI terms, subjective inquirers. What causes pain, what brings joy, what causes hurt, what musters fear, what summons irritation; all different. All not indicated. And in the process of a realtionship are these vunerablities and weaknesses revealed. With mistakes. In concious effort. In unexpected chance-upons.
Can the self ask the Other -What is Truth? Is it supposed to? Is it allowed to? Does it have the capacity to? And if it does, how does it do it? Would the Other know what the self means if he describes a particular situation. Does the values the Other ascribe to an issue contridict with the self's?
At such a level, it is as rigiorous a search for the Truth but its different now because it does not concern one mind. It is about two individuals within a context - two intersecting and dynamic contexts. There is no good approach in the collective eyes of the beholders. Saying too much, leaving things unsaid and not saying anything at all - are all mistakes.
Ultimately, it is the fault of neither because of the 'everything else'. Something that both rely so much on can't be faulted.
"Then you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free." -- John 8:32
