In today's world where the media is king...it's easy to get caught up and angry thinking the country/world is really as polarized as the media lets on. That we're all going into hell in a hand basket. The F*ck Trump signs and have been replaced by F*ck Biden signs. You're either one on side of the fence or you're sitting on the wrong side. You're pro this or pro that.

I wish it were really that simple. I despise politics more than anything else and refuse to get caught up in the mess of it all. I've seen people end relationships over differences in opinions. No one can say who's really right or wrong because that varies based on perspectives and one's own interpretation of the facts.

But I have to say, I step out my front door and engage with neighbors of differing ideologies, political associations, races, etc. We all seem to be capable of having conversations, listening to one another and actually engaging in dialogue vs trying to argue their point, their side. It's refreshing and proof that the world isn't on fire.

I was having a conversation the other day about absolute truth. It was along the context of "why can't they just see the facts, that these are absolute truths."

For something to be absolutely true means that it is independently true for all people, even if they do not know it or recognize it to be true. The opposite of absolute truth is relative truth. To say that something is relatively true means that it can be true for one person and not for another.

My question is - how many things can we actually say are absolute truth? Perhaps we can argue gravity, how the earth rotates around the sun...some would argue God, but aren't most things left up to interpretation? Isn't truth a bit subjective based on the experiences each one of us brings to the table? Interesting discussions for another day with drink in hand.

This is a prime example of where my mind flows when it's allowed to run rampant and without constraint. I typically don't allow it, or perhaps only for a moment to get it out of my system, as I don't view everything in such extremes.

So I say this to myself, and perhaps to you, as it relates to what one seeks....I promise you, whatever you are looking for, you will find it. So choose to look for the good because it is all around us.

We cannot despair of humanity, since we, ourselves, are human beings. ~Albert Einstein
