Homework

…is overrated.

“It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books.” -Albert Einstein

Introductions…

For centuries men and women have sought to understand the purpose of life.

Words, actions, and thoughts devoid of understanding, awareness, and acceptance of self negate meaning.

Human beings have struggled and will continue to struggle to solve the riddle of life.

What is truth? What is meaningful?

We live in a world of extremist ideologies.  We have differing perspectives of the same world.  Of the Same reality.  Of the same truth.  Not to say that every aspect of an ideology is absolute truth, but it most certainly can have some perspective of it.  There can only be one Truth.  If I believe that the world is flat and you believe the world is more spherical, we can’t both be correct.  Earth has been proven to be more spherical than flat; therefore, I would be wrong in my theory that the world is flat.  Since I can be incorrect, there is Absolute truth.  You simply cannot have a theory be incorrect or untrue unless there is a truth that makes it incorrect.  Therefore, Absolute Truth exists.

Whether we find part of that truth through experience or reason.  Empiracism or Rationalism.  We still come to some element of truth.

Why must we limit ourselves as to how we find truth?  Why one methodology? Why one ideology?  We will all have our tendencies to follow a certain group’s ideals, but why pursue truth solely according to one group or method and limit yourself to full understanding of reality and truth.

Welcome to Aurea mediocritas…

Welcome to the Golden Mean…

Where we know what is true through the commonalities between ideals.

Welcome to my methodology….my ideology…my philosophy…my perspective of truth……

I do not know Absolute Truth…and neither do you…

Take my words to further your own understanding…
