there is no such thing as meaningful objective truth,
we validate truth with our experience and
all of experience is subjective, therefore
question of what is true can only be
answered subjectively, if we look to facts
and measurements devoid of any experience
for truth, we may find something but if
is devoid of experience then it is
meaningless. So what is true how do we
decide what is true if we can not rely
on being objective? the answer is to
reject the objective. fully embrace
the subjective. What is the subjective?
It is our experience. This is a
question for you? Have you Experienced
God? That is the question only you
can answer. If you did then He is
real if you did not then he is not.
Weather God exists or not objectivly
doesn't matter if You have not
experienced him. However, our
issue as human beings is to try to
break down all our experiences into
objective facts when really we can not.
we must make a desicion. What is it
that we are experiencing. What is
sadness. Sadness is something real.
Sadness is an experience of a loss,
a missing piece. it is not the missing
piece, it is not the loss, the loss is
meaningless without the experience of
sadness. It is the same with God
people with faith give credit to
God and it has great meaning. yet one
objectify it and say it is not God it was
weather and a series of measurable events
that happen regardless of experience.
That is like saying you are not sad
everyone you know just died, and it
happens to everyone eventually and
it will happen to you as well. God
can only be experienced subjectively
if he could be experienced objectively
he would be meaningless, because there
is no experience, to us and therefore we
can not relate to it and therefore we do
not need it. Love is another illustration
of the impossible connection of the
subjective and the objective.
What does it mean to be
loved. you can never prove your are
loved with objective facts, hugs
can not prove love, gifts can
not prove love, spending time
does not prove love, being loved is
an experience that is experience by
the individual, the question do you
love me, is the wrong question, the
objective facts mean nothing, one does
not say lets see, I hug you 2 times a
day, I think about you , 4 times an
hour, that is not love. A robot can
do those things and experience nothing
there is no meaning. There is a vulnerability
to love, because experience is so meaningful
it can backfire on us.
We can experience love and yet, later
find out that while it was love we
allowed ourselves to experience, it was not
love that was given. what was it that we
experienced, I tell you it was love
that we experienced, be cause we
experienced it, truth is subjective
which makes it very meaningful but
also its risky and can also mislead us
and hurt us. The more objective
truth becomes the more meaningless it
becomes and therefore it is harmless,
because it is devoid of experience.
If you have a meaningfull live you
are living an experiential life, you
are living a life full of faith, the substance
of things hoped for the evidence of things
unseen. This is the true place for a
meaningful life. Faith is a type of subjective
risk. THere can be a type of
objective calculated risk, we use the
calculated risk to devoid ourselves of
meaningful experience. If we catch the
short end of the stick we take away all
meaning and say we knew the risk.
This
is my struggle, everything is meaningless
when we objectify it, yet it seems to
make things so sure, and we can know
something objective, and yet we cant
enjoy it ever, because it is outside
of us. In order to reject it we must
either be drunk or we must have
faith, and by faith I mean rejecting
the objective and embracing the subjective,
i mean taking a risk, risking experiencing
something that is truly meaningful
Because only when we make the desicion
to lower the safty net of objectivity and
embrace the life of Faith will our lives be
truly meaningful. Faith is not a belief in an
objective fact that we can not prove, faith
is embracing meaning and experience and
existence, the quest for objective truth leaves
one chasing for meaning in a place outside of
experience, and therefore can never be
satisfied. What a blessing even the
smallest amount of faith is, to a mind trapped
in the prison of objectivity.
