The Strange Story of Mickey and Sylvia's "Love Is Strange"
Other philosophers have struggled to intellectualize Truth Superior Singing Method Review in similar and other ways. Most (but not all) of them would agree that there is an ultimate Truth and a path to discovering it. That must be a given, else why would some men spend their whole lives in the pursuit. The problem with philosophy, and religion for that matter, is that both are searching for proof, whether it be of "Forms" on the one hand or of the existence of God on the other. There is no proof of either. The path of both is simply one of discovery and enlightenment and we're guided, for the most part, by what we hope to find at the end of it. Ultimately, then, our journey in search of Truth is a journey of faith and hope.
(I once, many years ago, attempted to define Truth when asked to by one of my philosophy professors. Being eager to demonstrate my refined intelligence and my sharp wit, I replied that Truth was birth, death, a bowel movement and a broken heart. I may have been closer to the mark than I realized at the time, at least in the sense that all of those things at least give us a glimpse of, as Plato would call it, "Truthness." But I digress.)
Now it gets slippery. I would argue that God is Truth and that there is no Truth without God. God defines Truth. God is the ultimate Form that Plato was looking for. It is important that I clarify at the outset who/what I mean when I say God. I don't mean a concept of God that we have intellectualized. The popular notion that God can be whoever or whatever we want Him to be - whatever makes us feel good - doesn't work in my argument.
If we can create God in our image then we can create Truth as well. We can all have our own little god and our own little truth. It just doesn't work. (Look at the state of our society and government which seem to be ruled by this philosophy.) I submit that God Is, with or without our belief or consent. Now, when I speak of God I mean the Great I Am; God the Creator and Ruler; the God of Abraham, Jacob and Moses. You are offended or disappointed. Too simplistic. Sorry. But, isn't that the catch. Must we not, in order to find Truth (if you believe it exists), first allow for the existence of God. We can't create God any more than we can create Truth. Either they exist or they don't. The meaning of life, then, I choose to define as simply a search for God and through Him, Truth: a struggle to come into communion with Him; to be reconciled to Him; to be the prodigal son welcomed home. In the end, it is all a matter of faith and choice.
