Day 12

I think that it is completely arrogant to assume that there is no universal truth. I understand the concept of subjectivity. That everyone can be living inside their own world while in this one. That to the delusional man, the ball didn’t roll down the hill, it floated.

But, what goes beyond that?

Nietzsche says that, “There are many kinds of eyes. Even the sphinx has eyes – and consequently there are many kinds of ‘truths,’ and consequently there is no truth.”

But isn’t that vain? Arrogant to assume that everything must have something by which to see a universal truth with. Can this universal truth not just be? Why does it have to make itself known and be degraded as something that has to be experienced by (wo)man to be true

“...If seeing is believing, then believe that we have lost our eyes.” - Manchester Orchestra, I Can Barely Breathe

People are calling it a universal truth, but limiting it to earth.  Ridiculous.

Bubble land, truth bubble, whatever,  I don’t care.

I believe that while alive, people can have something (a way of living, an object, whatever) and live their life with the belief that it is true.  People can believe all they want; it won’t make it true outside of their own minds.

“How do we know that’s true, how do we know there’s an earth? How do we know we’re not in the 
matrix? How do you know?”

 “It’s true that nothing’s true.” Okay, maybe so.  But only, to the person who thinks he can see it.

Side Notes:

Today is the first day that I didn’t say anything in the large circle. I feel disappointed. In myself?  Maybe. In   the discussion? Maybe.

I am tired.
I believe I am tired.
All persons identical to Haley Sorg(at the time this post was written) are persons who believe themselves to   be tired.
Tell me how that is false.
