[FONT=Courier New,Courier,mono]Take for instance, the "wise" words one of today's most influential religious and spiritual gurus, Oprah Winfrey: [/FONT][FONT=Courier New,Courier,mono]"Truth is one part of many, which way is yours?"[/FONT][FONT=Courier New,Courier,mono] Certainly, the obvious objection to this sort of thinking would be to ask the question, [/FONT][FONT=Courier New,Courier,mono]if both truths conflict and contradict each other, how then can they both remain true?[/FONT][FONT=Courier New,Courier,mono] I suppose however, that the obviousness of this logic will prove to no avail; especially considering that more people are adopting this sort of post-modern mind set.
they both remain true becuase oprah was talking about human perception. perception defines reality. this is not post modern thinking, this is thinking older tha christianity. if i remember correctly there is very old story about a man walking down a road.
the next day a person from one side of the road was chatting with someone on the other side. the subject of the man came up as he was a respected elder in the town. the two men were talking about the mans dress as unenlightened beings are wont to do. at the subject of the mans hat, one of the gentlemen said that it was a nice blue one. the other man said no you are wrong the hat was most certainly red
well anyway this led to a big argument and a fight. after manty bruises the irate men sought out the wise men.
he informed them that they were both right, he showed them the hat wich was red on one side and blue on the other
