Wisdom does not have to be presented in any such quality. Much wisdom is given under tragic and somber situations. Words of wisdom at a funeral for dead children would not be presented in a joyful, exuberant way but more so in a way that provides solace in a time of deep emotional sorrow and mourning.
Truth is a personal perception. It does not matter if a truth is a lie or not as what matters is that the truth is truth for the individual. I'm going beyond subjective here as it is not a significance of ones individual perception as much as a truth can be instilled within one's psyche. A person that has a phobia considers that phobia a truth, where as factuality will render it false. Many a truth is a lie when it has to stand the test of validity. Truth therefore is personal truth and is as unique as individuality itself. Whether a truth is a real truth or a false truth it still remains as a truth within the realm of your personal world. When your parents told you about the tooth fairy or santa claus, at that instance it was your truth until you finally realized it was no longer a valid truth in your personal world. If you want to know about your truth it is essential that you delve into your past to reveal all the truths that make up your persona. Upon re- evaluation of these truth perceptions you will be able to sort out those which no longer hold relevance to your current world. The important issue here is to recognize that you must replace those false truths with truths that you now accept as valid truths and ultimately those which pertain to your current world. Personal truths can change as we change the conceptual aspects of our once perceived truths. On Jul 20, 7:33 am, deripsni <[email protected]> wrote: > What is truth?
