SPPOOOOONNN!

About six years ago I remember having a conversation with a fellow co-worker, that was once a democrat mayor somewhere in New York, and we had a discussion on truth. I held a spoon up and asked him what I was holding and he said, “I perceive it as a spoon, but someone else might not see that it is a spoon.” I replied by saying, “Someone’s ignorance that this is a spoon doesn’t change the fact that is a spoon.” What he was saying is that what truth is to me is different than what truth is to you. Because of this kind of thinking, we have 3, 687, 944 branches of the church as well as some 6, 345, 783 false religions. Because of this thinking, the world is as it is today. The truth is, I am in a recovery program because I used to look at my version of the” truth”. Jesus says to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind and love your neighbor as yourself, but I say what’s in it for me and its all about me. Jesus says that truth will set you free. I wonder how tainted are thinking really is? How far away is the world from truth? Truth is…I have gas and it smells! Does the way you think smell?
