What is True?
Walk down Harvard Street in Brookline, look up and read the word—True. How often do you walk down an urban street and come face to face with a philosophical conundrum?
What is true? Look around and see the inequality of wealth. Yesterday I heard an interview with A-Rod. The interviewer noted that by the time A-Rod's contract with the Yankees is finished he will have earned five hundred million dollars. How can someone be worth that amount of money?
And there are people who don't eat in order to pay rent—and there are people who can't afford the basic necessities of life.
What is true? We haven't figured out how to stop violence on an individual basis or among nations. Bullying exists on all levels—
What is true?
“In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.”
Buddha
