Truth: The strongest argument - Sophocles

Two years ago I began my journey as a college student and learned to write essays, term papers and experiential learning papers. Whew! It has been a challenge but I have come to love the English language and what words can do to mold and shape our minds. Poetry has become precious to me, exceptional literature is as exciting to read as going to a good film. Today I'm fatigued but getting my chops up to do this blog is priority because I have made a pact with myself that I will write something everyday and maybe at the end of this project, I may have a book to publish. Sophocles was this Greek philosopher that wrote books that became classics and I had to study him in one of my classes. I dont' remember much of what he wrote but I know he had to be good because we are still reading his musings to this day. The truth is so relative but as Sophocles said, it is "the strongest argument." Not that I like arguing but it does remind me of something I read long ago on a bulletin board at a Subud Hall. There are 3 sides to every argument, yours, theirs and the truth. I do like how that comment sheds light on the fact there really are only opinions and one is as good as the other. And in the face of all these opinions, lies a truth and that is what we need to find. So get your shovel, lighted helmet and start digging. Somewhere under all that bullshit one will find the truth. The piece of the argument that will live forever and work for everyone in the long run. I can't tell you what it is....i'm still digging. While I'm digging, I do find some idea or other that feels like a truth. But God-willing we will find what works for us and live a happy harmonious life with the gifts we are given and the circumstances we find ourselves in. I know that if I don't find the truth for me, getting someone else's will be second best and more than likely not work for me. Here is to all of you finding your truths. Happy digging!
