Can you relate the facts about a person with the persons own personal truths?
By personal truths I mean, what lies beneath the veneer of the mask most people wear.
I have a background in dealing with scientific fact. You must experiment to prove a theory, once that has been accomplished then it passes into fact after peer reviews.
But where people are concerned, that approach is perhaps not the right one.
Take me for example, the following facts that I like to spread around:
Has no ability to feel emotions of any kind
Never cries
Has no sense of empathy towards people he seemingly hates.
Likes being alone
Personal truths:
Emotions rage behind the mask of fact 24/7.
I cry when nobody is looking, and more often than people would think.
I push people into taking positive action if possible. It does not always work. I understand that I can be a bit of a bastard sometimes and that alienates people.
I do sometimes like being alone, but I see people walking around Oxford laughing and joking and feeling like I am an alien visiting an alien world. Of which I cannot speak the language.
Those are a few simple facts and personal truths.
I may sound arrogant or insecure with those statements. Perhaps a mixture of the two.
So do the facts define a person or the personal truths blur the lines of definition.
Personally I think not. Facts are the human need to sound like you know better.
It is the personal truth of a person that are the real facts. The secret desires we all have and sometimes share.
So to understand a person you must first disregard the facts in so much that:
“There are no facts, only interpretations.” ~Nietzsche
It is the interpretation of the so called facts that can often lead one to finding the personal truths of a friend or indeed yourself.
We live in a world where we are bombarded with images of how you should look and behave. So the personal truth’s become blurred and even forgotten.
This leads to problems in understanding yourself and others.
This is however as far as I can venture on this subject.
The truth is often worse than the lies people use to hide the truth.
This is me swanking off to hide my personal truths.
