RE: "Truth is a liar's invention." A Reading for happy Skepticism.

Thank you for your sincere and thoughtful response.

I do believe that our truths and views can change if you insist more than once to ask the same question. That makes us rethink our answers and in doing so we modify what we consider an absolute certainty.

You write your sentences firmly and then you question yourself about the writing. That creates possible parallel worlds. Then I get caught between the first statement and all the alternatives that can contradict it. My own thoughts and my own experiences catch me.

Sort:  

Ah ... I guess I understand. Interesting ... Reminds me on something I just have read. ... Let me try to memorize it ... I think when between the firm statement and the n (n=infinite) alternatives (parallel worlds as you say it) you get wobbly then you might find that you cannot stay safe with a decision? Is that what you meant?

Like when you say: I love ice-cream the most, please serve me ice-cream, and the waiter takes this as your order while on the neighbor table you hear a lady reading the menu:

"mousse au chocolate, cheese cake, lemon soufflé, raspberries with whipped cream, jelly, passion fruit sorbet, buttercream,"

the whole heaven of delicious desserts :) - and it makes you dissatisfied because now you could also imagine to have another one of this dishes?
