And the Truth is ...

These days the complex idea which has been gripping me is relative simple when it comes to expreesing it in words.

It is " how do we know what is true and what is not?"

This idea took its rudimentary form some year or two back, but became more profound after my philosophy class, where after a prolonged debate with all logic and abstract conditoning it was finally agreed that nothing is ABSOLUTE. This implies that everything is RELATIVE, but to what I have no clue. I guess it will take another class for the bunch of tyro philo enthusiast to answer the last question. But all this while I was just wondering how unaffected, unaltered the actual truth remains to all discussions and thus conclusion we arrive at in the class. Like the sun will continue to rise and shine everyday, smiling at out naivity , planets continue to revolve and so does our milkyway. River continue to flow and flowers continue to blossom and the bees continue to hum around them. So does all the word game that we play at the class sufficient to change the nature of truth relative or absolute? Does this apply to just us or to everybody including Plato, Socrates or any person for that matter who come up with his conception of the world? Just because certain things have been said by certain biggies, does that make it true all together?

This last question bring me to ground zero, from where I started then what is truth Absolute or Relative. I think i should end this before I get into another round of contemplation because even that is not going to shake the rock bottom :)
