> Do you mean truth is subjective for you???
I think it is subjective for each of us. I guess this only for philosophical truths, though.
I'm not very good at this sort of discussion. There are different kinds of truth, but the truth that most concerns me is the sort that affects my heart. And that is subjective.
If I say I love my husband, and insist it is true, than you will ask what love is, and so it comes to what love is to me, and if accordning to that truth, that I love my husband or not is true or false.
Truth is a scary thing. People do bad things in the name of truth, and it's hard to argue when some truths are so very different than others.
Try to sort out historical fact - that is, truths. It's impossible. Even eye witnesses disagree, and history is all about human percetion - what we have perceived at points in history.
But again, I can't really discuss any of this intelligently. I don't have the mind for it. I can fix your toaster, I can make you a dress, I can get more in the trunk of a car than anyone else I know. I can stop a baby from crying. I can organize a party, make the food, serve it, make sure there are no wall flowers feeling unloved, and leave breakfast in the fridge for morning. And apparently I'm a good kisser. But logic, well, I think all red trucks are fire engines.
Love,
