The search for truth, is it a valid quest? Is it what we envision it to be? Is it whole hearted endeavor we partake to find our purpose in this world or is it a dillusion in our mind that we create to make us feel like if all our suffering wont be in vain and that there is some form of comfort ahead. What is truth? How can we define it? Who can say that thier definition truly defines the word. How can we KNOW truth?
Most of us adhere to some form of authority (social, spiritual, moral etc.)when it comes to the truth. These institutions of authority lay down their guidelines of how to live and act in order to find the truth they describe. But the question is do people really experience truth in this way? How can they, if they are taking the template from an experienced few and baseing thier morals and ideas around that. It creates a metal image of what they are trying to achieve. Well, my limited experience has taught me that truth is found in the experience. How do you describe the sensations you experience when you go to the ocean without having experienced them. How can you ever know what love is untill you experiences it personally. What is truth as experienced by me is not nessicarily truth to you.
Having made this point, why is it that we look to others experiences on subjects such as religion, society, and morality as guidelines to live by? They can give us the tools needed to experience the truth of what ever matter but we have to actually put for the effort to find our own experience of truth.

there isn't any absolute truth in my opinion, only interpretations of what we think to be true.
EXACTLY... SUMMED IT RIGHT UP
