Two People Walking Towards Each Other For The Rest Of Their Lives

Proposition: Lies are imbued with the truth.

Our general quest to attempt to pry the universe’s secrets open brings to question the viability of the effort, that is the factuability of the truth that we aim to know. Any sophisticated reader is aware that for the most part we are guessing at the truth, the experimenters are interpreting results, the theorists are amassing pensions from the mind, the final theory is brutally fantastic. How close to the truth can we be? What is the truth? We don’t have to answer those questions in order, nor both at the same time, nor wholly.

Did you see that, got part of the answer I did. We don’t have to answer the whole question, just part of it would be sufficiently rich in information to baffle us for centuries. At some point in the future a century will seem a too small unit of measure. We can suspect that because the light year was created to avoid the inadequate insufficiencies of counting universal distances in miles or kilometers.

We now know that a measurement is merely a subjective approach to defining a distance, and for that matter it end’s up being merely an approximation of distance, just like a marriage is nothing more than two people walking towards each other for the rest of their lives. It is then possible to compose the supposition that humanity will be walking towards the truth for the rest of it’s life, and that the truth is an approximation of itself.

What is more fascinating is that we can not be too wrong about the truth even as we might have intelligently lied ourselves into falsehoods, fantasies of string theory, and quantum entanglements. The lies are endemically connected to the truth by way of happenstance, a lie is wholly rooted in the truth, it can not be any other way, the truth being something persistent throughout then it must provide the basis for any falsehoods, lies and misconceptions.

Conclusion: We can walk towards the truth and the truth is what we find in our search for the truth.
