File of truth

As the word truth is here in the title, and I talked about being a warrior of truth, I guess is only fitting that I explain what is my concept of truth.

Truth is a very tricky concept to explain. In this case, I won't try to search an "standard definition" and copy-paste it here, I rather prefer in this case descrive what I see about it, and why I think is important.

Truth is the reality of everything that exists.
Truth is everything that is not a lie.
Truth is the ultimate answer to all the questions.

If I were a "person of faith", I could also define Truth as "God". And, in all honestly, that definition might be acurate, but not in the way a "person of faith" would expect.

Also, truth is something that human beings, by our own nature, can't never reach. That brings people to often ask me "if we can't reach the truth, why bother to fight for it?". Well, let me share something with you. No, we cannot reach the truth.

However, we can get close to it.

And there is a great difference when we get closer to the truth. In a philosophical sense, I can say that, the closer we are to the truth, the more free we become.

For me, the correct question is not "why bother to fight for it?" but "why we cannot reach the truth?", because there is the place in where the secret of getting close to the truth lies. In the moment we know your limitations, as a person or a human being, you get closer to the truth, or, telling the same in another way, you some of the lies that suround you. And there are a lot of them around you, and INSIDE of you.

Yes, to get closer to the truth, you have to fight against the lies you tell to yourself. Becuase, believe it or not, you mind, your brain, your senses, your feelings... your body lies to you. A lot.

Actually is amazing how much we lie about being free, when we are not really as free as we think. The key to become more free, is to know all the lies that chain us to petty things.
