Frequent failings followed the forgivings of failed forevers. Life, it comes at you day by day, it is relentless, and you hardly have enough time to catch your breath. If not by F, then in 25 different ways, but life and it's problems will continue. We, all of us, go around in life with only one thing continuously on our minds, ourselves.
Everything, from the decisions which have dire consequences, to the smallest matters of adjustment, we make everything about us and how it will affect us personally. We talk publicly about the common good, but in truth, what is good for most is only good for us, if it benefits ourselves. It is the great human sport, to manipulate our surroundings to best suit our needs, and if it happens to help our fellow man, all the better.
We read into our environment, processing what we see in accordance with our perceptions. Our perceptions are set by what we have experienced in life, and what we took from that experience as truth. Applying that truth to our personal belief, but also, we take note of what was false about that same encounter, as a lesson of what went wrong and why, so those mistakes need not be repeated. But allowing for the fact that different people might well have interpreted the same event in a different way, and so coming away with a different perception about the matter, is there more then one truth? Though logical assumptions can be made for almost anything, if that logic doesn't arrive at one undeniable truth, then someone must be wrong. Truth is solid rock, and so there can be only one truth. There can be differing ways to arrive at that truth, but still just one truth. The exclusiveness of truth is where the problem comes, as someone has to be right, and someone wrong. Knowing you are right is easy, while admitting you are wrong takes courage. This would be the perfect spot to speak about ego, but that is another story for another time.
