In an old movie called The Gods Must Be Crazy a light plane pilot throws a coke bottle from his window and it hits an African Native on the head. The African Native hasn’t had much to do with western culture and thinks it came from God. He decides it might be a weapon because when he hits people with it, it hurts.
Most know it as a coke bottle. However, the ‘truth’ is that it’s both and neither at the same time. It’s what you make it to be. There is no absolute truth just versions/stories of truth.
You might be saying to yourself that education removes the ignorance and science reveals the truth but even then the reality is limited by the language and measurement capability you are able to use to describe, measure and classify things like a coke bottle. The coke bottle is silica it’s not a coke bottle. The coke bottle is atoms. Nope, it’s a string theory construct. Not it’s not. We may never know the truth that many of us seek.
Get the drift? No truth, no reality.
The good news. This means Santa is real! Yep I let my kids choose that if they want. Knowing this truth, that there is no truth makes life a joy! It allows you to be a creator of your own world how you want it to be, a God like power.
