The complexity of truth

The problem with saying anything about the truth is that it encompasses everything. To say something about everything, which seem relevant to everything, is not always so easy. Philosophers, theologians, scientists, behaviourists, cult leaders, politicians, multi national companies, everybody wants a piece of the cake, everybody wants to know the truth and tell it to other people. Or at least thats what they often say they want to do. Im more enclined to thinking they just want power and so they lie and lie and lie. Few actually really want to say anything about the truth. But i want to say something about the truth.

Philosophers have their angle on truth. Most of the time they seem to think that the truth can be contained within the normal symbolical language of say English, German, French, Latin or Swedish. They seem to think that if you just think clearly and critical, you will understand what the truth is and then you can scribe it down on a piece of paper and then somebody else comes along and reads it, and then WHAM, they understand it too. I for one, dont believe in that fairytale. The truth is more complicated then that.

One way of at least approaching a complicated version of a story of what the truth entails as it is put into a form, is this way. Truth is the gathered compound of these components: Interpersonal sociality, symbolical intellect, subconsious effects and the spirit world. Nothing can ever be true if it does not encompass the totality of these elements in such a form that it approaches the totality of all that needs to be expressed at the moment. Its foolish to think that you can in one sentence approach this form, irregardless of the subject. If one gleans only a fraction of the truth in any subject, one gleans the truth in all subject in that instance and that fraction of the truth is no longer a fraction, its the totality of the truth. So in practice one cannot glean only a portion of the truth. Truth is a unit and you cant hold one of its bits since it doesnt have bits, it is simply only one body.

Interpersonal sociality means all that which takes place between people at every moment that has ever been as well as the present.

Symbolical intellect means all those formalized words and other symbols which the consiousness for one or the other reason presents itself in the form of so called "thinking".

Subconsious effects means all those things inside us that we dont have control over, every reaction, every feeling, every irrational element that moves within.

The spirit world is the non linear essence of bodiless forces that moves us and that we move at every moment.
