.91 truth



currently listening to
daylight,
matt and kim




"all theories are presumably mistaken in places. 
the real question at any given time is which of the views already proposed is the best approximation overall"

-john rawls




so maybe none of us know actual truth,
completely, 
absolutely,
infalliably.


we can propose theories,
that is all.


for the only genuine truth
is disclosed,
partially witheld,
incomprehensible
in our lives.


truth is there, 
somewhere,
yet we cannot claim to possess it,
only have theories about it.
incomplete
marred 
conceptions of what it might be like.


theories.


and therefore
no one
can claim 
a monopoly
on the truth.


yet,


we can all 
give our two cents,
for what it's worth.


some say
"one light, many lamps"


personally i'd say it's the other way round.
but then, 
this is just a theory too.


so
happy diwali, people.



because


whatever your theory,


 
LIGHT WINS.
