If of course you even exist...sometimes I think my commenters are just too good to be true.<br /><br />I've written about this before...<br /><br />See my rope/snake dilemma - http://australianinathens.blogspot.com/2010/02/biting-poisonous-truth.html<br /><br />it's an ongoing thing I keep thinking about. My eldest daughter thinks its extremely funny. When I tell her that I love her - she asks "And what if I don't even exist and am just a figment of your imagination?" And she's just 10!!!!Purple Cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016727639028322093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284462997299066462.post-45617728457335737702010-05-20T14:31:20.629-07:002010-05-20T14:31:20.629-07:00Truth is so very, very subjective.

Especially when it comes to personal experiences - this is why I get cranky when people insist that there must be only one true religion when everyone experiences such different things in life. <br /><br />Lovely post!Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284462997299066462.post-956641306505695392010-05-20T08:39:31.990-07:002010-05-20T08:39:31.990-07:00Oh I wish I had read your post before I wrote my o...Oh I wish I had read your post before I wrote my own post today. I wrote about a misunderstanding that happened. And guess what! A misunderstanding is just each persons version of the truth. One person knows it to be a trunk and another knows it to be a tail! Bits of truth can most definitely cause many problems! We are on similar wavelengths my friend!The Novelisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966701772659997692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284462997299066462.post-59685905496869959322010-05-19T23:55:54.287-07:002010-05-19T23:55:54.287-07:00Thanks Robin for the award.

So what can we do about this slippery customer, 'truth'?<br />Like you, I have pondered this question (and had many debates with people who tell me I should know 'right' from 'wrong' - oh, if only!)<br />I agree that the only thing we can know for certain is that we exist, but even then...<br /><br />I sometimes think that the key may lie in the concept "relativity" - the notion of space and time.<br />(Or, possibly, as Bob Dylan said "You're right from your side/I'm right from mine..."<br /><br />OR<br /><br />"The facts keep changing in a constantly evolving game so open to interpretation and fallacy. Today's blog post written by me in all honesty right now may be a lie by tomorrow."<br /><br />I could not put it any better than that.<br /><br />And thanks for your post to "George" (this is the only way I can think of to reply). I have had some problems... a low mood swing and gastric flu might be one "truth"... but, as your philosphy implies, it can only be an imperfect truth (even for me).<br /><br />It meant a lot that you took the touble to write - You might even have saved the lives of George and Anna!! <br /><br />I hope your are taking care of yourself too.<br /><br />Your writing, your ideas, resonate so much with me.Georgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284462997299066462.post-45444412278774539232010-05-18T13:12:56.834-07:002010-05-18T13:12:56.834-07:00This post made me smile.
