Today's blog is about truth and how it differs from person to person. Now you will say, truth is truth and how can it differ? But the fact is, though the truth does not differ, people's outlook towards it differ greatly. Their perspective is never the same. Of course, here we are not talking about our day to day doings but rather the bigger picture. For example, take Newton's third law of motion. It clearly states that "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction." For a non-physics student the statement itself will be enough but for the student who studies physics, the statement will bring all together different meaning which non physics student will never understand and get more and more confused. So what I mean to say here is, though the statement remains the same, the perspective definitely changes.
Now, there is one more thing about truth. It brings many things with it. For example, Controversy. When someone decides not to believe in something and tries to prove it wrong it becomes a Controversy. The struggle between Truth and Lie. And while doing this journey many other things come up which makes the whole thing more confusing. To make myself clear I will give an example of Aliens. According to me Aliens do exist but according to some they do not exist and hence the controversy regarding existance of Aliens. This has given rise to many sub issues, such as Area 51, Alien Abduction. I assume, everyone now knows the truth about Area 51. If some of the readers are not aware then the truth is It was secret military base of America during the Cold War and to keep it as a secret American govt started the Alien rumour of Area 51. This of course is the brief version.
The other topic of Alien Abduction is whereas a very vast subject. Again, here the perspective of people changes dramatically. The Alien Abduction cases came into limelight in 1950s and 60s. They took place even before that but the event did not get the fame required. Many people believe that Alien Abductions do take place, all you need is Imagination which is the key to all answers. If you dare to imagine then it will happen to you too. Kind of like existance of God in my view. If you believe in God, you will believe in his strength and his position in your life. So, if you believe in Aliens, you will be able to see them. On the other hand, some people take the path of science. They want to see everything as Logic. They want the proof of the Alien Abduction existance. If there are any cases, they would rather do thorough analysis of it than believing in it blindly. I put myself in the second category of people. I do not want to believe it because I feel its all for the fame and publicity. At the same time I would not ridicule it knowing there are many secrets in the Universe which we haven't explored yet. There are many unexplained things on Earth itself which we haven't uncovered.
The moral of the story is, truth can be twisted in anyway we want. It all depends on the perspective of how you look at it. What someone sees as complete truth might be half truth for other. The reason I dwell on this topic is because in this past week I have had many conversations about Alien Abductions and existance of Aliens and many such topics. The truth remained the same, everyone believed that Aliens are out there, somewhere. But the way everyone put it differed very much. So I just thought why not chose this as my next subject. I hope I haven't done a job of sloppy joe and succeeded putting forth what was in my mind. But the truth is- I am confused myself.
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
