What is fake or real? What is good and bad? Come on, we’ve all got out thoughts on it.
So what is good? Is it some way of measuring the accomplishments of someone? Is it some sort of measurement? What is it?
What is truth? Is it actually as we say it is? Is it simply a generally accepted opinion? What is it really?
In my opinion, and that of one of my close friends, Ocean Murphy, everything is just a commonly accepted excuse or reason for what we can not explain. Facts? They’re just opinions of our ancestors that we take in to be accepted as “true”. Truth isn’t any different–it’s just what we commonly accept to be accurate to what we believe it is, means, stands for, etc. and quite honestly, truth and falseness are both the same. They’re just our opinions on what is and what isnt accepted as “reality”.
Now we get into some fun shit. Reality. What is it that encompasses reality? Do we really know what anything is? Is there an intergalactic name for anything that we considder to be a day to day thing like… let’s say, paper? If we were to discover life elsewhere, would it be all the same over there as it is here? no. It wouldn’t. That’s a bit beyond the point though.
Reality is really only how we explain everything that happens around and to us. Time for example. What is it that causes time? Do we know? We know the second has been defined to be the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom, but what does this really mean? What is a caesium atom really? We really dont know. We just label things with what we want them to be for our own convenience. Make sense? A car isn’t really a car, but we commonly accept it to be one by the name we have given it as a society. Language is a great example of this. A car to us is an “auto” to anyone speaking Spanish and so on and so forth.
So right and wrong, good and bad… What’s the meaning of these? Why do we care for them? As we know without one, there isn’t the other; but why? Well its pretty simple. Balance. All throughout life we seek balance in one form or another. Without balance, we are nowhere. Good and bad, right and wrong, they both, as sets, help us measure and keep balance in our world. That is the only reason for these sets of ideas.
In any case, I leave this open to anyone as food for thought. PLEASE if you have additionsal thoughts or any criticism, anything… comment on this and let us hear ya. YOUR OPINION COUNTS!
Take this and expand on it in your own ways. Take this and think over it for a bit; enjoy it. Talk about it; it’s worth it.
Best regards,
Andy
