The problem we've had in our thinking and discussions about "truth" lies in the mistake of pretending that it's a thing that could be of this or that nature. The only non-imaginary, unmanufactured concept of truth I know of is truth as honest relationship to what's actually going on, including the participants interested in knowing what's really going on and their relationships to it and to us.
Instead, most of us think about truth little differently than a child would.
A relationship isn't a thing, it's a living, complex phenomenon, a process, a happening, ever changing, moving, folding back on itself, interplaying.
Truth isn't some "thing" *in relationship* (relative) to other "things". Nor is it a state relative to other states. One of the primary and most important things about truth is that it is not static -- because nothing about which there could be truth, as far as we know, is static in any way that matters.
Truth is honesty about what's going on, our relationship to it, our interaction with it, as well as our relationship to and interaction with others involved in it.
The map is not the territory. Good writing As someone who mediates on these type of questions. I can say that Michael Karlberg is a good writer for these ideas.
Truth is neither absolute nor relative, Julie.

I like this Millard. Like I said, we all need each other to understand the greater context or reality! Beautiful thoughts that deserve contemplation.
We all need each other. ABSOLUTELY!!!! 😁💗
Thank you. It's next up: "Truth and the Dishonesties of Belief". I'm thinking a serial book. Full-on books are too much buck for the bang.
Yes I agree! The truth in front of you will set you free. And then you will go on to a deeper truth. 😍

Truth is the probability of randomness.
So you're saying that it's true that random events have a high probability? 😁
And yet the truth shall set you free.
