“There are no facts, only interpretations.” ~Nietzsche
Your idea of truth is probably more of an ideal. Ideals are dangerous because they tend to become idols. They tend to become revered, unquestionable, and sacrosanct. The ideal must be discarded lest it become a blindfold. It must be shed lest it become a straitjacket.
The Truth Quest must never be sacrificed for the “truth.”
Indeed. Truth is fluid. It’s an elephant in a room full of blind people. It’s there. It’s big. It’s very real. But it’s up to interpretation. You must be capable of entertaining a thought without accepting it. You must be capable of admitting that your interpretation is not the be all end all. It is merely a passing notion, a fickle fancy, a limited conception mired in fallibility and imperfection.
You are the point of view on whom the universe hinges. You are the pivot point. You are the universe perceiving itself. It’s all on your shoulders. Thus, it’s your responsibility to align your interpretation with reality. And since you can never be sure if you’re interpretations are aligned properly, it is your responsibility to be vigilant, circumspect, skeptical, and open to new interpretation.
