In a search of all things good and true, one must face the inevitable question that seems paradoxical in context. What is truth? It seems paradoxical to me, for one can only reach this question while in search of its answer. For example, my recent religious and political research has led me to question some of the things that I had so avidly believed as a child. I still believe in God as my Savior, and I still believe certain things about the government, but I have come to define my religion and political beliefs in my own terms. However, it would be extremely vain of me to say that my political views are truth, merely based on the fact that they are mine. So, where does one find the absolute truth? This question has been posed countless times throughout the history of man and the answer is still as elusive as Big Foot himself.
This question leads me to yet another, why does man insist on the truth, when he doesn't even know what that perceived truth is? Do humans have an innate tendency towards a specific 'truth'? Are we pre-programmed to believe certain things, or to act a certain way? To answer this, one must have knolwedge from God himself, and I do not pretend to have the answers. I'm merely allowing my thoughts to flow freely.
