Still following that lineThat is a line of inquiry I will look into.
Did Monty Python re-incarnate? Not the best of productions, but with a pinch of salt I found it amusing. And we do need some salt in our lives, don't we, now?

Very good. The thing I love about this Forum is, it gives space for opinions. Like Mike noted, out of free memory, Forum rules were created for members, not Moderators' need or want for power. --- It was something like that.I suppose that it's a matter of taste, which is both subjective and subject to change, but what I tasted was more akin to vinegar and I don't think a pinch of salt would change it's PH level.
Yes it is in the differences that we find a common ground. We can agree to differ.Very good. The thing I love about this Forum is, it gives space for opinions.

Vinegar for one may be sweet for another. An ideology to cherish? Or is it just us elderly men, with enough of bruises by time of life, come to understand......... one has a neighbor and a fellow [wo]man, and who was the one with the right opinion? The longer I live, the more I doubt, and the more I suspect my own certainty.
Truth is a matter of opinion and perspective. That which is true today may not be so tomorrow. Firmly held opinions that would seem true are found wanting. Scientific truth is not always so. Boundaries extend as we learn. Each step is stated to be true. So even truth has a certain elasticity as we learn.Pauli,
I don't believe there is such a thing as a true opinion, only a truth that is true...opinion doesn't necessarily equate to truth and more often than not doesn't. Therefore, we all have the right to be wrong, as much and as long as we can withstand the consequences, as long as doesn't harm someone else. Expressing one's opinions is not harmful to anyone, but their reaction to them may be.
To say we understand truth we would need to know a truth. Truth seems to change and ultimate truth is always just out of reach.That you can say that means that you don't understand the word truth in the fashion that I use it. I said nothing about science. Truth is not subject to anyone opinion, nor does it change, only our limited perspectives of it does.
It would seem to be a matter of perspective. Each person views the world in a different manner. Same with religion.I never meant to imply that anyone knows all truth, but some knows part of it. It is to that part to which one must anchor one's search, otherwise one will become lost in a maze of possibilities. The trick is to find that anchor, and no one is able to find it for someone else.
In the Uk I can say it is night yet in the US it will be day. It is all a matter of perspective. Time and place. Each is stating the truth but it is still only a partial truth.Obviously, it is a matter of perspective...from your perspective, but it doesn't matter in the least that there are conflicting views. Nor would it matter if everybody agreed, if what they agreed on was false. Truth doesn't waver one iota, regardless of what anyone thinks of it. As long as you persist in dismissing the concept of truth, because there is disagreement about it, you will never learn about the truth. If that makes you happy, then so be it.
