Unrelative Truth
We all speak our truth from time to time – The relative truth.
Relative truth is connected to the truth but it’s not the whole truth. It’s like someone holding on to an elephant’s tail and claiming it’s the whole elephant.
“Unrelative Truth” is the whole truth and it’s rarely spoken. That leaves us with lots of confusion, miscommunication and prevarication.
What is Unrelative Truth? It’s the truth that has no opposite. Most people don’t want their truth confused with the facts. If there is an opposite to what you or someone else is claiming to be true, you only have your truth, not THE truth.
The closest most of us come to “Unrelative Truth” is when we parrot reality. “I am writing this sentence at 6:46 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, June 5, 2013” is reality. If I say, “I am writing a profound sentence at 6:46 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, June 5, 2013,” I only have the relative truth. The minute someone legitimately claims it’s not “profound,” my truth has an opposite and disintegrates.
This is just a reminder to take notice of what you are espousing as the truth. Chances are it has a snowball’s chance in hell to stand up to the heat of opposite.
Please continue to have your opinions because they are the grist that, when tested, get us all closer to the truth. Just don’t claim that your opinion is the truth or you’ll need more tissues for your nose.
Speaking less relative truth will keep your arguments to a minimum and, more importantly, will get you closer to the truth. That last sentence, if you hadn’t noticed, was an opinion. The only way to find out if it’s relatively true for you or not, is to take it for a test drive.
Final opinion: The whole truth, even in court, is rarely spoken.
All the best,
John
