Perception of truth

our perceptions are guided by the language we use, what we claim to see, is masked by language with definitions we have no part in constructing. truth is obscured by this function of language and the expidence which lies in our definitions of a thing. We no longer see X, as language is used to mask our perception of X. Language serving as handles on thought, containers into which we deposit any further consideration of X.

we are ruled by expedient answers. Answers which only serve to queil a monentary question. Answers to occupy the place of a question and little else. Satisfied with the answer we move on, to the next. In this way we cheat ourselves of truth, or have truth stolen from us.

We are so sure of ourselves as we exchange these empty definitions others prepare for us. This is how to think, this is how to see the world. Rarely do we stop to question the illusion of language, the constructs which proclaims to be truth, the assumptions we take to be just so.

We are after all only human. Lying cheating misleading. Finding in whatever we do, advantages at the expence of others. Language and the way it is applied by man, follows those same rules.

what say you?

Re: Perception of truth

it can only be one thing, either true or false. No middle grounds there.

Re: Perception of truth

You are talking about the "Illusion of Language" in the Language. So you can only discover what a langauge allows you to. So how can i be sure that what you discovered is right, since i'm not sure that languge had allowed you to see things rightly.
