True, but then what is the truth, is that just subjective?
We can only know what is true when we witness our own actions, but then can we believe our own mind, for is our present and future not influenced by our past?
Thanks Chris. Appreciate the reblog again!
I think you are right again. There are no truths – only versions of the truth.
