Finding out what ACTUALLY happened implies finding "the truth". Which implies not everything is a story. Thus the two statements above appear to be contradictory. But some hold that all contaradiction are good, particularly if you can hold them similtaneosly in your mind. I am not arguing with you (never do). I am just playfully exploring the implications of some of the themes we find in posts here: 1) There is no knowable truth 2) Everyone's view of everything - including their view of the truth, are just stories. 3) All stories have equaly validity. 4) All contradictions are good -- they are even "spiritual". 5) That different stories are contradictory is thus a good and spiritual thing. 6) Thus, per this logic, Ricahrd's posts are spiritually enhancing, and are good things. Read them and evolve into greater spirituality and nonatachment to your inner stories. > and revise their viewpoints accordingly.
