ORIGINAL: philosophy ....define truth. Ohhhh to be sophmore in college....seeking the truth! And that probably is the definition of truth..each of us seeks our own truth and our definition of truth is seen by others in the way we live our lives....Socrates never said HE had the answer to what is truth...but he did excite those around him (and he never charged, according some historians) and he encouraged them to find THEIR own truth. In my opinion, what is NOT truth are statements from people who don't take the time to study an issue, study a leader or one who would lead us, but instead depends on the agenda driven media that editorializes all the news and TELLS us how they feel and how we should feel about an event, a person, a political program, instead of giving it to us straight up..(why I love C-Span). That is not truth...that is blind ignorance and a waste of brain cells. It doesn't really make a difference to me if someone is conservative, liberal, democrat, republican, or whatever. As long as he/she doesn't come across to me as intelligence challanged, I enjoy the discourse...It's when everyone on the other side of an issue sounds like a soundbite from CNN or MSNBC that it truly gets boring...but to them...that IS truth...and I only pray that God..or Mother Nature, the Sun, animals or a statue, ...or whatever people believe or don't believe in bless them...and keep them from voting.... :)
