The 'Truth' as you see it!

Back with something interesting...

Exams from 22nd. I don't know what made me post this just now!!! But I had read this few months back and I liked it. I forgot to post at that time so doing it now.;)

According to that article, there is no absolute truth. The article was as follows.



The 'Truth' as you see it!

There is no absolute truth.

The story of a group that gets shipwrecked, with a young woman, a sailor and an old man landing on an island.

The woman sees some movement on a distant island, and suspecting it to be her boyfriend, asks the sailor to take her there. He agrees, on condition that she sleep with him. She turns for advice to the old man, who tells her to follow her heart. She sleeps with the sailor, and he takes her there. Sure enough, she finds her boyfriend and his best friend. The boyfriend asks how she got to him and she tells the truth, at which he wants nothing to do with her anymore. His best friend offers to marry her.

As u identify the best and the worst person in the story, you will explore your own values, and find the 'truth' is different for everybody.



Comments Appreciated...
Thanks.

  1. are bhai dont confuse 'truth' with 'value judgements'. "This flower is red" is a testable hypothesis hence either true or false. "This flower is good" is a value judgement and is not a testable proposition.
