Why do I constantly look for answers? Are there truly any
questions? I find myself always looking for a sufficient truth about the world.
As though there is a key to life. As though I need something to look for.
Something that is always true. Maybe there are multiple keys I am looking for.
First is that undeniable truth, either a philosophy or idea to live my life on.
And then a feeling to coincide with that philosophy, so that I can keep my
conscience clean and truly enjoy my life. However, how can there be an
undeniable truth, something that will always be true. Take for example
something so simple as your skin. I’ll use my own skin. I am classified as
“white” which is truly pale, in the light. If you look at me in the dark I do
not look white or pale. My color has not changed, but there is a different
perception. You may say my true color is the pale, we just can’t see it in the
light. However, who’s to say this darker gray isn’t my true color. In fact the
lighter version only comes from radiation from the sun or electricity. It is
syndicated. My natural state is dark. But there is not one shade, different
amounts of light exposure will vary my skin tone. But, there is not one skin
color that is true to me. So goes this answer to life. There is not one true
philosophy. There is no almighty truth that will lead me to happiness. There is
variation. Every single aspect of everything has a different possible outcome.
Of course once something has happened, it cannot be undone. The real key is
that there is no one key, to understand perception is different for everyone
and everything. You can’t blind yourself to one truth, by only allowing
yourself one path; you deny the opportunity to all the others. This means you
have found a truth that is false. Then again, if it’s the path you’ve chosen,
isn’t it the truth?
