Category: Whatever
Reality.
Some say that this is a completely subjective personal existence that is different for all though somehow cohesive for all at the same time. You know, “You create your own realityâ€. False.
There is truth.
Without us, there is truth. With us, there is truth. Without life, there is truth. Within and without you there is truth. Everywhere there is truth. Nowhere there is truth.
Conceptually speaking this is not entirely correct because of the conundrum that states without perception nothing exists. Like the tree falling in the forest making a sound without human ears to hear the falling. Well, nothing exists, yes, but so does absolute truth.
The classic every witness to a crime sees something different example seems to bear this out. But what is actually happening is the inability of human individuals to see the truth without adding their own flavor.
So back to the title.
What becomes eminently clearer every moment is that politics is a complete fabrication built on lying in a manner that does the least damage to an objective that is entirely surreal.
This is against nature, and against truth and ought to be against the law. But then the law is usually meaningless anyway.
Truth is all that is real. See it, believe it or not.
While I really dig having conversations on here (after all, what is communication ultimately but meaningless), I”ll still add a couple things. Politics and the law are not separate entities. Politics is the law. Laws are created and written by politicians.
There are certain boundaries and guidelines within which human existence is to be perpetuated (for one, you mentioned sustainable inhabitance of the planet, ethical treatment of others is another). Politics is the struggle to adhere to these principles as best we can.
You have it backwards. The real world is a complete fabrication built on lying in a manner that does the least damage to an objective that is entirely bullshit. Toward this aim, politics can be co-opted, as can any institution or medium. The world would exist without us, but that doesn”t mean within human society there is no right or wrong.
Politics, the word, as defined by the dictionary is not the topic of this article.
This article is about the divergence of truth and government.
The usage here is intended to be a reflection of what most of us see as politics, that is to say, a bunch of posturing posures who call themselves politicians and lawmakers more concerned with appearances than reality.
The fox guarding the henhouse is not too bright on our part.
As for the real world, did I mention that not only does nothing have meaning but nothing is real? And there”s nothing to get hung about. (John Lennon, Strawberry Fields Forever. The double meaning here is fantastic, nothing to get caught up in, or nothing for which to be hung by the mob.)
Still, a blog, why not?
Your point is well taken. Semantics are important.
Room for dessert?
