What is truth in life?

[blazeofglory]

I often ask myself and all this question. This question is very simple and yet it demands of greater degrees of meditations and reflections. There are so many philosophical treatises, piles of writings, and mountains of opinions on this issue. All try to define looking at it through their lens or points of views and understandings. But we end up being dissatisfied with all their answers. Human beings keep on asking this questions through eons and millenniums and I know it no one can convince or can be convinced with the answers arrived at through bulks of books or discourses accessible to him or her in point of fact.

I am tired of all this stuff. I followed Gurus, philosophers, spiritualists, materialists, scientists, common folks and the like and yet every time I returned unanswered.

God, paradise, afterlife, immortality, soul, universality, so on and so forth, masses of hackneyed phrases and by words and yet they suffer limitations and these all are our inventions through human history.

If we take refuge in temples, churches, synagogues, monasteries we see people having double standards in their lives. One they live clandestinely for themselves, and the other publicly. They are hypocrites.

Now I speak inferentially that we are running after mirages, and there is nothing to arrive at, only stretches of illusions eternally. No where we can arrive at truth and even if there is it we can not arrive at.

Of course Jesus, the Buddha tried to arrive at it, yet we do not know for sure they really did.

There were seekers, and there are still among us, in fact all of us are. Yet what we conclusively arrive at are shadows not the core of truth.

All I want to say is let us live simply. There are small truths that are open to all of us that man is mortal, that we have to depart sooner or later. Even if scientists can prolong our life spans yet we will have to face death. That validates the point that nothing is eternal.

Then what should we do? I feel let us live a simple life, and value simple things, discarding bigger ambitions. When we hound after bigger ambitions we will destroy ourselves. Science has helped human beings but science has not done or could not stop the pollution of the earth and our ecosystem is getting worse and we are closer to total destruction, and the cause of it is our ambitions.

Developed countries with their sciences and technologies have triggered the process of destruction. They are culpable and must account for billions others who have no access to science and technologies.

Today we are too much materialistically inclined, and that is why we are losing our dignities and values, and we are getting more brutal than the brutes.

Let us harbor the idea that this planet is a common asset and let us share it economically and altruistically, not greedily and overambitiously. Let all others, weaker ones and our posterity partake of it, the bounties of nature, and let us not be wolves to destroy or feed on this mother earth.

Let us behave as if the earth we live on is our mother and we as her children.

This is the truth I have arrive at.

Then let us be committed to creating a worldwide movement in avocation of a new social direction for humanity. If we want a better world, an everlasting world then we must intend to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness of the species through the avocation of the most current understandings of who and what we truly are, coupled with how science, nature and technology (rather than religion, politics and money) hold the keys to our personal growth, not only as individual human beings, but as a civilization, both structurally and spiritually.

We have been conditioned by society to think that crime, corruption and dishonesty is "the way it is" and that there will always be people who want to abuse, hurt and take advantage of others. Religion is the largest promoter of this propaganda, for the "us and them" or "good and evil" mentality promotes this false assumption.
The reality is that we live in a society that produces Scarcity. The consequence of this scarcity is that human beings must behave in self preserving ways, even if it means they have to cheat and steal in order to get what they want.
