True truth
I’m frustrated. I don’t know how to write what I’m thinking right now. I’m frustrated with the way some others express themselves. I’ve read some weblogs that are funny to read but so consistently cynical that they’re sad. It makes me feel like a fraud for writing about my love and happiness.
But I’m not a fraud. The way I see the world, through Christ in joy, is honest and true as anything can be. More so.
I am also frustrated with relativity. How did this come about? The earth has gravity: if I jump, I come back down. The planets in our solar system revolve around the sun: they are not going whichever way they please. If Earth chose its own path, it would quickly stray, and all life on the planet would freeze or burn because the precise order– our location to the Sun– would have been disrupted. There is one way to make babies: a woman’s egg is fertilized by a man’s sperm– this can happen outside of the body in a laboratory, but the fundamental ingredients of man and woman are necessary. Everywhere, from inside our cells to the cosmos above, there is fundamental order and a precise way of things. It would not be arrogant for me to say to Adam, “You cannot make a child without the egg of a woman.” It’s just true.
With the way of order and fundamental truth all around us, how can we say that whatever is true for you is fine, but that’s not true for me? That’s contrary to the rest of the cosmos. Is it the case that everything exists in the realm of absolute– except for opinion? What is opinion but words? What backs up your words? There is a truth. Right now, I’m not even arguing WHAT that truth is– I just want to say that there cannot be “relative truth”. “Relative truth” is contradictory to the air in your lungs that sustains you. It is contradictory to the water that flows and gives life to your organs. It is contradictory to the colors in the spectrum and on Adam’s paint palate. Life is ordered, it makes sense, and truth is not relative.
That’s all.
