Is the truth important?

Which truth is important?

I have always thought that telling the truth was an important thing to do until I discovered that reality varies depending on who you are and what your experiences are.

My truth may not match your experience.

Does that make my truth false and yours correct?

 

Not at all.

 

It only means that we have different experiences, and our realities don't match.

When I talk from my experience and knowledge, I tell you the truth as I know it.

When you do the same, you tell the truth as you know it.

 

Who is right?

 

Neither of us, we both tell part of the truth because that is all we know.

 

Who is lying?

 

Neither of us.

 

It's like the story of the three blind men trying to describe an elephant (there's that bloody elephant again), none of them can get the full picture, but they describe the part that they can feel.

 

Not knowing all the picture and locking yourself into a single truth is where things get ugly.

Millions of humans have died because of a belief in a single truth.

 

The Inquisition, the Crusades, the Roman Empire, Gengis Kahn, the Chinese Dynasties, Pol Pot, the Holocaust, the Incas, the Spanish Invasions, Tribal warfare on every continent all of these and more have happened because one group thought they had the only truth.

 

Did you know that they have found traces of a battle occurring in Europe over 3,000 years ago and there are no records, so they don't know who the people were or why there was a war?

 

There are cave paintings that indicate tribal fighting in Northern Australia that are 10,000 years old.

 

Perhaps some of these early fights were over hunting rights, but it's still the same.

Our truth is that we have the sole rights to this area.

 

Yes, truth is important, if you know it.

 

When you stop thinking and exploring options though, the truth that you lock on to and that you defend can be detrimental to your health.

 

Even Stephan Hawkins wrote in his book, "A Brief History of Time" that the discoveries that got him the PHD he later discovered were wrong.

 

I keep researching and learning, do you?

P.S. One thing that does seem pretty settled at the moment is that it's pretty challenging to make a decent, reliable income online without an email list.

 

Some would argue that a good YouTube channel or a Facebook group can make you a reliable income.

 

Sure, you can make a high income using these platforms.

 

An online friend of mine just recently lost his entire YouTube account due to "breaching the terms of service" which hasn't been explained to him.

There was no warning, so any income he was deriving from that has just been turned off.

 

Facebook has done similar things to some groups.

You can't rely on a third-party platform for your income.

Use it, sure, rely on it? Never.

 

Build an email list, and you can rely on that, as long as you export your subscriber list regularly as a backup.

 

Build it properly.

Build it this way.
