..On the Relativity of Truth ..and Universality-2
In continuance to my previous
post , this one is ONLY for those who
have followed and read my earlier posts …’coz only they will be able to understand
what I intend to convey …rest can sleep
it over ..
In my last post , we talked
about relativity and how all adjectives
are relative (.. and that’s why grammar
of any language has comparative and
superlative degrees) .. and by proving how these adjectives are space and
person dependent (I skipped time) , I may have given relief (or broaden their
minds to a certain degree) to many who
are affected by these , in an ABSOLUTE negative OR positive sense .
So, if all adjectives are
relative (or rather dependent upon) to people ascribing it to others (..and
place/time dependent) then why is that MOST OF THE GOOD PEOPLE SEE GOODNESS
EVERYWHERE and in everyone and the evil one’s see evil ?...does not our whole
adjective-relative -theory run contrary to our general observation of
people anywhere in the world ? ..Because
that is what happens …good one’s see goodness everywhere ..evil one’s see evil…
Shouldn’t the good one’s
see evil everywhere and the evil one’s goodness ..but THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN . As
per our observation anywhere in the
world ,people are more apt to see SIMILARITY rather than DIFFERENCES as far as
FEELINGS are concerned ..and hence the adjectives , defining qualities related to heart ,good(at
heart), evil(at heart) , loving, affectionate, passionate ,kind etc. DON’T go on gradations defined by geographical , personal or time domains ..
n
1) Two
good persons remain good anywhere and at
anytime .First one does not become evil
RELATIVE to the second who might be a
little “more good” at heart (..may be
that’s what hold all together)
2) But
, the less intelligent one is considered SLOW
relative to the more intelligent one ..or a beautiful one (at one place)
, placed in a society full of beauty queens is definitely considered to be
ugly..
..this
is the CATCH I talked about in my
earlier post. Adjectives defining the mental / physical qualities (smart, intelligent,
beautiful, dumb, fast , RICH(..how can I leave this one) ,poor et al) are MORE LIKELY to go on relativity scale (by others) compared
to those defining feelings (loving, hateful
,kind ,passionate ,good (at heart) ,evil etc) …I mean to say there’s nothing
like MORE KIND or MORE GOOD or MORE EVIL …a person is either good or evil
,affectionate or resentful ,kind or harsh (all related to feelings) …but gradations come in when we talk about the
mental/physical qualities of the concerned one’s (..may be that’s why we have grades
in school based on mental levels ).
Anyways , whether a person’s mind sees similarity (ARTISTIC bend) or differences
(SCIENTIFIC bend) everywhere …NEITHER of it is a guaranteed
mark of him being Good or Evil
(..NOTHING TO DO WITH GOODNESS OR EVIL..ahh )…its just a bend of mind …not
a guarantee of a person’s soul. But one thing for sure …the one’s seeing
similarity everywhere are primarily driven by FEELINGS while those seeing
differences are driven by INTELLECT/intelligence …(..two bends of mind …as far
as I can think. There’s another bend ,though …Political bend.. which I’ll
skip …its not that I don’t know about that…but,
I’ll skip that)
I,
myself ,being the one who sees differences everywhere and don’t hesitate to grade myself (and others too)
,somewhere feel that it’s the tendency
of seeing similarity everywhere which INTEGRATES PEOPLE..across the borders
..across nations …and within too (..when one start seeing similarity everywhere
,he/she starts considering him/herself PART OF THE WHOLE..that is what happens….and
that ,I suppose , is the reason behind INTEGRITY among people/nations )..
But
mind you…and mind PROPERLY.. that it’s the SAME TENDENCY OF SEEING SIMILARITY
which integrates EVIL TOO…because of my earlier argument that THE BEND OF MIND
OF A PERSON IS NO GUARANTEE OF HIS BEING GOOD or EVIL ..
…a person having an artistic bend (seeing similarity everywhere )..considering
himself “part of the whole” may go thieving around in his spare time (I call them "cockroaches")
While
another one seeing differences everywhere(..and knowing about relativity) lives by himself …somewhat hiding his goodness
from being known to others (…may be he is waiting for another Big-Bang to
happen…and then he’ll show how good he is …just a humor )..
p.s.::Next ,I’ll write a fictional story ...full of loves ,betrayals ,passions (of different degrees) having a streak of darkness (more like West Side Story)
