The Illusion Of Truth
Posted: 4/19/2005 8:01:37 PM
A facade is meant for one thing only- to create an illusion to satisfy the senses and place one in a particular desired state of being. I don't agree that anyone should ever feel the need to front in an attempt to get something from me. They are essentially liars that have an ulterior motive. I don't per se hate liars but rather feel sorry for their need to lie in an attempt to appear to be something they are not. Once I catch someone in a lie that is when I will always consider before taking another word they have to say as truth. I will have to decide whether it's plausible to be possibly the truth. I think that is sad but that is what happens when one is dealing with something that feels the need to tamper with actual and factual events. I don't think that liars particularly enjoy doing it but rather it has become a bad habit that is horrendously difficult to break. It becomes an everyday thing that comes naturally to them. A survival mechanism if you will. I have never cared to lie because it is a waste of energy better spent elsewhere. Aside from the fact that it only leads to more lies, which eventually seems to become a full-time job. I can only assume that there would be way too many details to have to remember, what was said to whom, and so on. I tell the truth for the most part. However, I may tell a silly little white lie that doesn't directly affect anyone else. For example, I will be one to say I had a great day when in fact it was boring and completely uneventless. Such a white lie doesn't affect anyone else's well-being. As a result, I tend to suffer the consequences in a most unpleasant way but why bother telling a lie if one knows the outcome is likely to be worse down the road. The lie becomes a gigantic farce of a story that will take on a life of it's own. I can't deal with that shit. Therefore, I would much rather just tell the truth. I will seldomly not admit to my "indecretions" as some might consider them to be. If asked I will answer truthfully. I, on occasion, will do things that most people would never consider doing in the first place. A very small aspect that lends a hand in executing such tasks has everything to do with the fact that I'm a bit too ballsy, guttsy, and fearless for my own good. I primarily do those things because I feel forced almost to take another course of action that ultimately leads me down that path of indecretion. If I could only get my answers without having to literally beg or go ignored, I wouldn't have to stoop so low to get my answers. Afterall, Scoprios are natural detectives. Ironically enough, I tend to cross paths with the truth at no fault of my own. The timing just happened to be perfect for my crossing. It freaks the **** out of me but it has occured one too many times for luck, devine intervention to go unnoticed on my part. Those particular things aren't done to inflict emotional or physical harm to anyone but rather to gain a better insight and set of facts. I know much but keep much more to myself. I will attempt these indescretions with intentions of gaining truth but I certainly wouldn't think I was flawless in my attempt. I can be clever but I would never say error nor fool proof. Secrets are never meant to be kept. They are always found out. My indescretions are one day to be discovered if not admitted by myself first. I would never outright lie if I knew what was being spoken to be the truth. What sort of truth advocate would I be then if I denied my participation? Karma is a **** and she doesn't discriminate regardless of who you are. Time is her bestfriend but together they will make sure we get ours in the end. Be careful of who and how we **** others because we wouldn't want to get our's triple fold or anything now would we?:) There should be no illusion of the truth but rather simply the truth.

I find the 'truth' as you say, rather boring/redundant to discuss, and the illusion of truth even moreso. After all, all we have is our perceptions,,,,true? Either way that's a lot of energy, that could be spent, pondering untruths...

YOU have a Jennifer Garner forehead which means your frontal cortex must be great for planning and decisions. I have a sloped cro-magnon forehead and so - sadly - I can't plan or do wonderful a-b-c planning but I have told the truth and I have lied to survive. But I am not ashamed and may be able to defend my doctoral thesis...it will be difficult because I wrote it but I have been the one to "live it." How do you do what is truthful when you're surrounded by liars. How - can you live - if everyone is living it up. Utterly content to get ahead and lead you to your demise without even a second notion or caring that you're maybe not as bright, or quick, decisive, or commanding, or tricky (I said it ) as them...smarts and cunning and cleverness sometimes tricks the tricker....because....they deceived themselves...and we see the world as we are...I am surrounded by lovers and allies and friends and family. I love you all. Also, I would wish for more truth..if we can handle it. (many can not handle the truth..because the truth doesn't care...it just is...and its a perception and therefore mutable...and has more than one SIDE) I want to know what this forum post is? what are we talkinga bout...can we use...paragraphs?

I want a paragraph. And structure.

I kinda skimmed the op because it was too long and sounded like so many others, but I agreed with what I did read.

Personally, I view liars as the lowest kind of people.

We must have more than our perceptions.

If all we have are our perceptions, what is causing them to perceive or not percieve with apparent regularity?

Truth is what people want to believe in many situations. It is twisted, used, and abused to manipulate situations. Nobody knows the truth of a person's soul unless they ARE that person. Hell, some don't even know themselves. So we in many cases of doubtful assessments make assumptions that we want to be true, but in truth can't prove a thing.

Why do people ALWAYS have to resort to insulting people that post threads. If you ****ing don't want to read it then ****ing don't comment on it. I'm looking for comments to ponder and enrich my mind. I certainly will not expect anymore comments from you ever again on any topic I may post. There is no such thing as paragraphs on these things. It automatically does it's own thing.

She is "high", as you say; on far more than truth sir.

She is high on realization; iot hits harder than most drugs will ever hope to purge your mind and understanding.

I will begin my lie soon Ginea or, perhaps, I am bluffing for the sake of interest and continuom.

Truth is also action. "A great day", with a frown or sweaty brow will decieve your lie; s little or white as you may see it to be.

I hear what you are saying.

"Truth" is a very strong and determined force. And "kharma" is his Katerina...his slayer...his truthsayer.

Be well Genia from the West.

I hope that you are well.

genia,
you know quite a bit for a 30 year old.
yup, liars use the lie, and it becomes a habit......later some develop a love for it, it's a tool that they love....... it becomes their savior.

karma comes to get you.........and it's for our own good, a lesson.
some people can't tell, but it's divine.

the universe funtions on truth and love......... the lie is only temporary.

IT's better to talk about what can be justified in terms of what we can see and discuss than to be slaves of some entity truth - it is probably better for us to talk about what works for us, and can be generalized for others to some degree.

You may not be able to know someone as well as they know themselves, but they will never know themselves as you do know them either. There will alwasy be things about yourself that you don't see that others do, too. Knowing about aspects of others thus has at least 2 uses - so we have some handle on ourselves and what we will do, and so others may or may not have some handle on us.

I don't know if you were referring to me, but at least I was honest without throwing a facade.

Ok, so what's the point here?
- You don't like to lie and don't like liars
- You have comitted 'indescretions', I guess
- You believe in karma

Am I missing something?

Dude, you slay me.
Also, I love that pic.

Fid...I am high on life:) Sweetheart I have NEVER seen marijuana in the least much less anything else. I can commit an indescretion and still remain truthful. I said some might consider them to be indescretions but I don't.

So it's all really flexible based on your view of things?
Although you'd be hard pressed to claim that a falsehood isn't a falsehood.
Well, I guess you could lie about that, too. ;)

Actual events don't really exist in any useful way. All we have are events that we've tampered with - it's just a matter of how honest the tampering is, I think.

In Nazi occupied Poland, the Nazis would come to small towns, have the young boys pull down their pants and then take away all who were circumcised (presumed to be Jewish). Roman Polanski evaded such a fate by using plastic imitation foreskin. Since we know this today, I guess the truth did eventually come out. But it did save him at the time. So the reality (as far as the Nazis could tell) was that he was not Jewish.

Reality is what you can get away with.
