Do you know the Truth?

[Silverluna]

So, is it all lies?

stop putting words in my mouth dear!

I think we need these "lies" to help us deal.....like the image of Santa Claus....we all "know he's not real" but we like the image...it brings comfort to many.....

Well, it's either truth or lies, isn't it?

I think we need these "lies" to help us deal.....like the image of Santa Claus....we all "know he's not real" but we like the image...it brings comfort to many.....

I think you would end up making alot of children cry.

 

[Silverluna]

watch miracle on 31st street....? I just repeated that concept....

"In God we trust" (keyword trust...maybe there isn't one?...we only trust blindly that there is one because we NEED to feel mushy and comfortable....hell life without it would be unbearble...no trust....no love....no friendship)

 

[Silverluna]

ok i need to go...

but what is you're point before i leave? I've made mine....

 

[sufisaint]

You cannot go beyond reality...but you can go beyond your own perception of it....and understand the difference to be more precise.......

Re: Re: Re: No mortal can know...

See above, concerning the difference between Life and Death.

Looking...

So if death is the same as life, how does it follow that what we learn at death is Truth, when what we learn in life is something else?

 

[phrodeau]

Never mind, I'll just take your word - and yours alone - on it.

 

[Silverluna]

heh....well keep in mind this is my verison...what i see...and how i see it.

 

[Silverlily]

Reality isn't something you leave; none of us have gotten there yet.

Speak for yourself. I know exactly what my reality is and I know exactly when I leave it. You looking at it, may not agree, but that has more to do with your perception and lack of understanding (something we've already covered ) than the truth or untruth of my reality.

 

[scylis]

the Truth?!? do I know the Truth?!?

i live for the Truth. i pursue the Truth everyday. i hunt it down till it rears its ugly head and share it with the world. i use it to defame and humilliate those who would screw us over for their own gain; to sunder polliticians and business tycoons and raving cultists and to give my goddamn editor high enough ratings that he creams his pants when he sees them.

Someone's feeling fiesty today...

My point?

There is no point; I started this thread because I wanted you to think...

... but I still disagree with you.

 

[Black_Bird]

Don't take my word on it... think about it.

 

[calypso_21]

Psst...I know the truth...but I'm not telling...you'd have to tickle me to get it out of me.

 

[Silverlily]

Today??

Darlin', this is reality.

 

[phrodeau]

I did think about it, and came up with a question that wasn't answered. Here it comes again:

If we don't learn The Truth in life, and death is so similar to life, when can The Truth ever be learnt?

 

[Private Vasquez]

I know that guy. He never seemed like a very nice dude to me, but he was honest, so that's cool.

 

[Black_Bird]

Psst...I know the truth...but I'm not telling...you'd have to tickle me to get it out of me.

...

Huh? You were talking? You know, you really must wear avatars that are less sexy; I might be able to carry on a normal conversation with you...

*continues staring*

 

[Black_Bird]

Today??

Darlin', this is reality.

Ain't that the truth...

 

[Black_Bird]

If we don't learn The Truth in life, and death is so similar to life, when can The Truth ever be learnt?

AH! Now that is the grandest of jokes. First of all, you are assuming that The Truth is something that can be summed up in words, and thus learnt; it can not be put into words represented in any symbolic way, thust it can not be learnt. Second, you are assuming that The Truth is something that the human mind can comprehend; I don't think it can.

So, life isn't all that different from death in this regard.

 

[Silverlily]

Ain't that the truth...

Dear boy, you can't handle the truth.

 

[Black_Bird]

I know that guy. He never seemed like a very nice dude to me, but he was honest, so that's cool.

I think this lady just killed Buddha. Quick; someone call the police!

 

[Black_Bird]

Dear boy, you can't handle the truth.

Probably not, but I don't doubt it would be fun trying.

LOL...don't you know this is all part of my wicked plans...

 

[Black_Bird]

What ever your plans are, Cal, I'm liking them more and more...
