Thought for the day

Are there absolute truths?

[identity profile] reindeerflotila.livejournal.com 2006-08-16 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
because pretty much everything is 'best guess'

Because everything you know is filtered through your senses, your personality, what you are, what you've experienced to date and what you want to be.

Everything everyone else knows is filtered through their senses, their personality, what they are, what they've experienced to date and what they want to be.

Because every man, every woman and every child is a star.

Nothing is true. Everything is permissible.

You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.

Friedrich Nietzsche

(Possibly my favourite from the Quotations meme).

of the ones you posted, i like Voltaire (1694 - 1778)


Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing.

the best :P

Yes, the natural laws of the universe are absolute truths.

But that doesn't mean that all that we think we know about such truth is at all accurate...

as all the molecules in the truth stop moving you approach absolute truth.

The only truth is that there is no truth.

But then there must be a truth, which renders the statement null and void... so in fact there is no truth...

*head explodes*

I'm philosophically a Discordian- it makes impossible truths easier to deal with :-)

the absolute truth of what is good in life.

To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.
