As a Star Wars fan, I was told to trust my "feelings" but in truth I have never believed the word "feelings" was the word intended by George Lucas in that context. I will trust my "intuitive feelings" but I will always be suspect of my "general feelings". Why? Intuitive feelings come from the spirit and can see beyond imagery into the truth of things but general feelings from the soul are reactionary to their environment. They can be twisted by false information and they can be directed by peer pressure and/or mental subtleties.
Which leads me to "truth". The one thing I can always rely on when my intuition is off or on the fritz. I will rehearse the facts of a thing in my mind to come to solid conclusions. Conclusions that I will heed to in spite of my feelings on any given thing. You might ask well how does love fit into that equation Mr Loverman!?! Folks, when love is real it ceases to be a feeling. It becomes a fact of life that can never be changed by outer stimuli which can be seen as it's ultimate test. That is the difference between love and true love. General love will change as quickly as one changes their socks but true love is not easily dismissed or replaced. When love becomes truth? That's the real deal...
Truth my friends is rare today as too many have cross pollinated opinion and fact. To opine is to consider feelings in making a determination yet to state a fact is to remove all feelings from a conclusion you may or may not "feel like" agreeing to based on what is known. Due to such blurring of the lines, society has been forced to lower their metric of what is deemed "truth". You can tell me the sky is purple and call it your "truth" but science and facts will disagree. I will tell you that you need to get your eyes checked if you told me that. Now you will probably say "Then it seems like you are basing truth on consensus. What if they were colorblind or had some eyesight disorder? You will say they are in error because they can't see like everyone else can?" No, because most would say that the sky is blue and they would be just as wrong in that determination. Why? A simplistic scientific explanation lets us know that the sky is only blue due to the reflection of the ocean when the sun is out. The sky is actually colorless..truth folks. Truth. I don't do consensus and I don't do feelings. I will respect everyone's feelings but that does not mean I will ascribe to them nor will I try to dissuade them unless asked or if I find their truth a danger to their health. This is why I am so adamant about researching things out. Why I like to hear all sides on a an issue before I make my own determinations. This, yet again, places me in the realm of the relic. Thought, logic and truth are seen as old hat these days so fuck it all...
I ain't changing. Even if everyone around me does and I become a nuisance to their delicate sensibilities...I will remain who I am. Shit!!! Somebody has to!!! I'm out...
