How Truth Works
Can we recognize the truth when it is present in the world? Do we dare to use it?
Truth is to be followed and used. If the truth cannot be followed or used, does it have any meaning? Can it be said to be the truth? Therefore, our intuitive summary of truth is universally true truth. A common explanation is a theory that can be efficiently applied by us. With this logic, can we find and use the truth widely? Why have we not found the truth for thousands of years? Is it because the truth is hidden so deeply that we are not capable of digging it out like gold from a thousand things? Or do we simply not have the ability to discern the truth? The more acute question is, is the truly useful to us? Can we accept the truth and use it? Is it also possible to ask: Is what has been standing in opposition to us, what we have discarded with scorn, the truth? This means that we may not only not need the truth, but we are the rebels of the truth, the opponents of the truth.
Why do we oppose the truth? Because the truth is the antithesis of the man-made ethical logic that we have set up, we have unwittingly become rebels against it. Truth is not subordinate to man-made ethical logic, truth does not serve man's subjective ideology, and ruth is not a tool to help us achieve man-made goals. We think that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth", which seems like a joke. We take it for granted that our life practice is consistent with the direction of the truth and that the ways and methods, and theories that can effectively help us achieve our purpose are the truth. Practice is the concrete act of realizing the purpose of life. Can we test the correctness of reason and purpose by the effectiveness of practice? Can a wagon running fast and steady in the south prove its correctness? In this case, truth is not the wagon that makes our wagon run faster and steadier; the truth is the stick that makes us stop and turn; the truth is the complete negation of the logic of our behavior. Never mind that we can test the truth on the road to the south, can we accept the drink of truth, can we turn and walk in obedience to it?
Who is more useful to us, truth or false reasoning? Who is more effective? This does not need much discussion, we are busy on the road to survival, who can help us achieve the purpose of survival, who can help us win in the competition for survival, of course, we will not hesitate to choose this reason. This reason is the truth false reason is still important? When we hold a spear in our hands, the spear is the truth; when we hold a shield in our hands, the shield is the truth. For thousands of years, we have been striving for practical truths, never abstract or reverse truths. We have been running towards the end, and is there truth above the way? Is the wisdom of human civilization for truth? Do the various concrete purposes we have set up for survival have anything to do with truth? Why have we not been able to find the truth? Is the truth hiding from us, or are we defying the truth? Are we insulting the truth and spoiling it with impunity?
Do we never deny that we are worshipers of truth, but is truly useful to us? What is its use? How can we use the truth to guide our life practice? What use is truth, which is another set of ethics different from the one we follow, to our obsessive march to civilization? For example, what would be the result of applying the truth of the bird's life in the air to the practice of the fish's life? The fish would be so confused that they would ask, "What if they run into a shark while flying around in the air so unobstructed? Logic plays tricks on us, and we will not hesitate to reject the truth. We ask, "Can truth be a meal? Can truth make each of us rich? Can truth make each of us a winner? Can truth make each of us only love and not hate? Can truth make each of us immortal? Can the Truth make us all blessed and not cursed? ...... This is a lot of questions, and the truth will have no place to go.
This shows that we have been rejecting the truth, intentionally or unintentionally we exist outside the truth for a long time. Can we keep running away from the verdict of the truth? What truth do we run in if our lives do not run in the truth? We have been dodging left and right, avoiding the interrogation of the truth, whether we are seeking the truth or fearing it. Truth is the mother of truth, truth is the source of truth, truth is the gardener of existence, truth is the servant of happening and less, and the truth is our conversion ...... Can we reject the truth and live in false truth all the time? Can we ignore the truth and live in ignorance and suffering forever? Truth is our existence, our flesh and blood, our bone marrow, the root of our consciousness, the fruit of our spirit, the heart of our suffering, and our true soul. Can we not want the truth? Can we betray the truth?
Our greatest fortune is that the truth has not abandoned us, that the truth is not far ahead, and that the truth has been waiting for us to return from our lost way.
