RE: Why Things Matter: Meaning and Responsibility
Truth exist distinctly to the individuals, people have different perspective in life, what matters to you might not matters to me, this decisive ideology that imposed on us created a different cultures to the people. Truth is a matter of perspective . If we asked the ordinary citizen about what is the essence of Politics they might have a different answers from the answers of the politician. The world is so vast and have a complicated cultures, it's hard to convince people about oneness or unity when it comes to ideology.
Thanks for commenting!
I would say that what appears to be true to us (our subjective perspective) is never perfectly accurate of the objective world. We can only know things by our own observations, these observations are not directly of the world, but of the internal representations of it that we create. These representations are far from perfect for understanding many things about the universe. They are very good for information pertaining to our personal survival and navigation in the world, but not for understanding the nature of the cosmos, how life arises, and so on. We are also quite unaware of how much we are unaware; we don't know what we don't know, or how much of it there is. Since we all have different knowledge, and perspective on life, we don't all agree on what happened, what it means, or why it happened.
This does not negate the idea that there does exist an objective reality. I think that it is very important to recognize that even though different people take different things away from an experience/event and might even see it differently, their perspectives do not change anything about the event itself. Denying this supposition makes the concept of truth fall with it. Just because I think that something happened one way does not make it anymore true, I could in fact be wrong.
