We must not conclude at random as often we are accustomed to do. Truth is veneered and you visualize the exteriors of truth. It is layered like an onion. Keep on peeling.

We make conjectures or deductions based on what we read in science magazines. Hypothetical facts are not essentially facts, they are facades and ostentation and we need to discover it for ourselves.

I never take scientific facts as the last fact, conclusively and un-falteringly the ultimate truth.

No truth that is the one that is realizable thru our sensory perceptions is the ultimate truth. Sound is a myth to a dumb person, and so is light to the blind. But to those with visionary and auditory senses both light and sound exist.

There are subtler truths beyond reach of our sensory or motor organs.
We know a little of great truth, and what we have understood or realized is very petty. Great truth is like Mt. Everest and what we arrived at is a small speck, or a bubble is what we know through science. And we make conclusion as if we understand the whole truth. No epistemological inference or can be conclusively and irrefutably considered whole truth.

We simply pretentiously deductively boast of having done great. What is so great about our technology in this age of computer science and iphone.

Everything is mysterious and that I exist is also something inexplicable. That is why we turn to myths, theologies, and religious faiths. These attributes expand our horizon of thinking, and we break through barriers of science that crippled us to be limited to observable phenomena.

Human thought is comparatively more wide-ranging and it facilitates us to go beyond the boundaries of the self.

And at times it gives the idea of the existence of something that is greater truth than what are knowable or visible to us. Maybe there is a source of energy that energizes us or wellspring of consciousness that consecrates or radiates all of us.

And as a matter of fact all I want to say is life is so full of mysteries and it is really fascinating because we know very little of it. And that is why we take a liking to religions, theologies, mysticism, epistemology, meet saints and the like.

All are relatively right in their understanding of the mystery of this universe and no one is absolutely right.

Socrates (as we know him from Plato) might agree, but he would also be asking for that person who might claim to know what truth really is in its fullest. What is truth then if there are layers and various meanings? A cut diamond that is brilliant and beautiful, but something that cannot be seen in its entirety from any view. It must be turned and considered anew while trying to remember the last view.

That which we see today as truth, we may not see as such tomorrow. But shouldn't truth itself be a constant, even if we do not fully understand its every layer, point or view? I'm not referring to situational ethics, morals or other types of logical arguments, but only about the concept of truth.
