Absolute Truth and Human Perceptions

Truth, as obscure as it stands, is untouchable by the physical hand.

People tend to choose to believe that there is no such thing as absolute. I prefer to say that there is absolute truth, for without which, there will be no truth. You may ask of relative truth. Due to the beauty of definitions, relativity only comes about when there is an absolute comparison.

If truth were to be as solid as we can feel an apple to be, will it not then be very dull? Life is designed such that we are constantly getting ourselves in conflicts with others due to our different points of views. Take an apple for example. If you are colour blind, you would say that the apple is black and ugly. Others would say that it is red or green or whatever colour they can see. If you view it from the top, you would say that it is very flat and the ugly hole in the centre makes the apple unsightly. If you view it from the bottom, there would be flatness and then some other shadows of the top part. Viewing it from the side will give us the what-you-and-I-recognise-as apple.

People view things differently and to explain this, I came up with this idea that people live on different levels of the physical plane. Scientists proclaim that we are living in a 3 dimensional world. I am not going to try to be different by claiming that we are not, rather, I would like to claim that they, the scientists, choose to live in a 3 dimensional world. Based on a non-transitive dice, I came up with this idea that dimensions might come in sizes. In a 3 dimensional space, there are dimensions 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, ... or perhaps 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, ... you get the idea. This is just a way to view space. Whatever space it, we cannot visualise it.

The beauty about numbers is how much it hides us from reality. If you visualise a space with numbers, it will make not much sense because we have been taught to visualise space as empty. Emptiness by itself remains in its most stable state. And then what is space, again. 

If space was absolute, will that help to explain what truth is? If everybody can agree that emptiness or nothingness is by itself blank space, will that be absolute? It makes a lot of sense to me to believe that space, in the sense that it is void, is absolute. And there we have it, establishing something concrete with something that has to exist due to the way we define it. And nothing on its own exist as a zero element in this 3 dimensional space we are living in.

Having come to an agreement that emptiness is a relevant absolute state, I then asked myself what silence is. We live in a world of sound, or so is believed. How many times have we not felt bliss in silence? Music contains the element of silence. Think about the pauses between the bars and intermissions. For something to be absolute, everybody must be able to experience its true form. You cannot say that a particular song is absolute just because "sound is made up of waves". I mean, so what? You mean waves are absolute?

Sound is like space. There is a null state, or zero state. Silence, and that is the name. Silence is absolute, and I had questioned my faith about it countless times before making this statement. I had thought of silence as just the untouched state of sound. And the sound that an average human can hear is the distortion of silence due to the fields around them. The volume of sound is just a way to bring sound to people's lives. I personally believe that sound is a distortion of silence due to fields after I found myself being able to hear sounds that people normally cannot hear. That, I had attributed to my sensitive sensory organs in my head.

So here is the bit about absoluteness in sight and sound. With these 2 senses, I am very interested to find out whether there is absolute taste, or touch, or smell. If I say that everything that is absolute is the nothingness in it, then there would be no fun. How can we say that tasteless is absolute? I cannot be convinced by that statement.

We cannot simply listen to our hearts. Human perception on matters play a great deal in terms of determining the outcomes in life. If you lead everyday of your life "following your heart", you might end up poor and struggling to make ends meet. We must listen to what others have to say, lame or not, ridiculous or not. We all have a very good sieve in our minds. We can perceive things the way we want to and also be affected by what others say.

To be able to lead one day, we have subjected part of ourselves to the influence of others. People will tell us how they think and then suggest ways to us, even if we are not consciously listening.
