    I think this post might be a joke, and I also feel like maybe I should reformat it or something in my quote.

    In any case I just want to say it's my belief that Truth is relative and truly a matter of perspective, and the only absolute, if you will, is that there is no absolute, no ultimate truth or anything of that sort. But then again, that is only my perspective ;)

    I can't tell when people are hitting on me unless it's super obvious.

    i still tend to doubt it...

    also, i commonly figure it out days later when they've completely moved onto someone less stupid.

    the only time I recognized someone was hitting on me was when it was a chick with the same purse as me

    for reference

    [​IMG]

    that's my purse.

    Ah, but if Truth exists,

    it IS absolute.

    This is right;

    that is wrong.

    What do you not understand about black and white?

    If you think there is a gray area,

    you're sadly mistaken.

    It IS,

    or it ISN't.

    In the last chapter, you're going to have to choose:

    Darkness

    or

    Light.

    as far as i know, my purse hasn't been the source of any flirtation in my life so far.

    but i won't guarantee anything, as i'm probably just missing something obvious to everyone else...

    it's the information that hits the spot.
    i bet his "purse" is full of quantum physics and NPR interview transcripts.
    if you don't have it, hide it?

    not necessarily, just don't post...

    edit: also, information is generally not considered attractive by the fairer sex. as a general rule...

    I went with murse, and bag, and gas mask bag, but, honestly, trying to make it sound unisex is taking more effort, and making it sound like I am protesting too much

    and, it's been dragged fifty miles behind a car.

    soooo

    it's manly enough.

    you could probably get away with the term "toolkit" and draw fewer questions...

    but it would not fully encompass the contents of my bag

    actually this is pretty stripped from a tool point of view. (and just my bag, I carry more stuff in my pockets, boots, car, etc.) I needed a lot of space for the book.

    but, I wouldn't be able to study without it, so, compromises, you know?

    It's only as complex as you choose to make it though, eh?

    The final chapter will be neither darkness, nor light, nor gray... it will be the eternal and resounding I DO NOT KNOW. The unanswered questions are the ones that are eternal :D

    Whilst that may be "only your perspective" it takes into account multiple perspectives, as you've attempted to determine the relativity of "truth." In accepting that truth is subjective one must realize that there are many percieved "truths" in existence that are both contrary and similar to eachother.

    Technically speaking everything is "theory." For a while I too believed that there were no absolutes, or if there were we as humans cannot be entirely aware of them (simply put we lack proof). However after examining this opinion if you will, I came to the realization that there is one absolute....that being change. Regardless of whether our "existence" is physically or mentally manifested (I personally believe it's a combination), everything at some point or another has, is, or will experience change. Whether it be internally or externally influenced is of no matter, as it is change nonetheless.

    One can choose, not choose or allow for the choice to be made for them. Most religious folk (no offense intended) have allowed for the choice to be made for them. It's called indoctrination, and the majority of people are indoctrinated at an age before they can coherently recollect and relay cognitive thought.

    I'm not trying to belittle religion, hell I'm fascinated with religious texts as I feel there's something to be learned from nearly all of them. It's only when people claim their beliefs are absolute and others are therefore entirely invalid that I feel they've gone too far.

    Imagine for a moment you're looking at a tree, while simultaneously three other individuals are as well, yet from different locations. Each one of you will see (perceive) a different image, therefore constructing a different perception of the same object. If all four people were then asked to make a sketch or take a picture of the tree it would appear different in each one. Now take that an apply it to terms such as divine, God, existence, reality etc...etc..

    What if you were only given one picture of that tree, would you know exactly what the other side looks like? Would you believe that that one picture could tell all that the tree has to say? I don't mean that literally either....simply put I mean all that the tree "is."

    yes change - flux. I call that a constant, not an absolute.
