Do you believe in absolute truth?

[bedeviled1]

I was undecided what topic to start this thread under because it encompasses all of them. The quest for truth seems to be a goal.that I will never attain. Not only in spiritual and moral subjects but in practically every aspect of my life their are daunting questions that seemingly have no answer. One of the philosophers said.something like...I know I am wise because I realize I know nothing...so, do you believe in absolute truth?

You can't confirm the reality of anything, least of all ethics, but you can certainly observe the properties of this possible hallucination that exists in some form in your mind or out of it.

Though if the world isn't real, but something more than you is, you'd have to figure out what lies behind it somehow, and I couldn't even begin to tell you how to do that. Maybe we're all orbs that radiate energy fields in empty space that gravitate towards orbs that radiate energy fields of a similar kind. Or maybe we're creations of said orbs.

I'm pretty sure that I don't believe in absolute ANYTHING

Yes, will we ever know it, no.

Hm.. ok. I would zero out religion for this post only - we need space and therefore comes from space. Some space, perhaps? What about air?

Yes, the closer the better. With thag said we do need a method to go through life that causes truth to reveal itself. What happens is the absolute truth. We wont always understand it, but we should seek to try as long as it doesnt cause additional issues.

What's truth to one seems to be fallacy to another

I'm not sure anything starts out as air...except air

Seems is a perception...all we have are perceptions. Truth is present though.

Is it worth it to find, is it worth the time and energy. Some are easier then others to find. Truths seem to be circular. They lead back to the same thing over and over. Truth is not logic, circular logic is bad. Emotional circle is bad as well.

Supposingly air is attracted to earth because of gravity, so what about just, one coming from nothing but just space?

 

[ChocolateMoose123]

No.

 

[Poki]

No.

is that the absolute truth?

Ok, let me put it this way. There are many,many people that are sure that they know truth yet all of them believe something different. All of them will tell you"listen to me. I know I am right" if they all believe something different all can't be right if there is absolute truth. Only one can possibly be right.

Hmmm, I don't think so. And why did you exclude religion this one time?
