Hello, dear Steemians!
Truth is usually ambiguous and hardly ever simple. One of the most defining characteristics of humans as a race is their ability to perceive and understand the world in different lights.
That means that each and every one of us sees the world in a unique way. There are as many worldviews as there are people on Earth. Each of them different and ambitious in their own way.
How do we then, differentiate between all these truths and the ultimate truth? Is there such a thing as an ultimate truth?
In today’s article, we are going to talk about the concept of these different worldviews.
Regardless of whether such perceived truths are supported by facts or not, I want to talk about the unhindered truth about these worldviews.
Imagine yourself in an airport. It is a crowded lobby and many people are waiting for their cue to leave the city for another country or town.
Some of them are bidding each other farewell. Some of them are eating snacks. Some are chatting and laughing together as a family.
You can perceive this image both as a beautiful sight and a dreadful one.
A person sees this sight and thinks about all the little things and simply deeds that make life beautiful and enjoyable to experience.
Another person sees this sight and thinks about the idea that after a hundred years, all these people here will be long dead and gone.
He thinks about the futility of all our endeavors. How helplessly we struggle to become the momentary holders of power and fame. How sheepishly we think about eternity, where in truth our true future is in death and destruction.
Meanwhile, the other person is still enjoying himself. He doesn’t think much about what future will bring. Even though he might agree that we are all going to die one day, he knows that it is not ‘today’ and that he still has to live life to its fullest.
The real question that we need to ask ourselves here is: Which one of these worldviews are actually the truth?
If you ask my humble opinion, both of these worldviews are correct in their own assessment. The real dilemma here is which one of these will actually help you with your productivity and day to day lively routine?
If some train of thought helps you get along and actually do something in order to realize your goals, then I could argue that that worldview is actually true and correct, at least for you and your life.
In the above example, you could think and see the world in both ways, one is an optimistic approach and the other is a pessimistic one, but which one can help you with your productivity and happiness?
I think that is the question we should ask ourselves. It doesn’t matter if your worldview is the truth or not, or whether it is supported by facts.
What you should ask yourself is this: Does my worldview actually help me or is it slowing me down?
Every thought is in some way and to some degree, true. This is not to say that all thoughts are true, as there are also fallacious and erroneous ways of thinking that are not supported by logic.
But when it comes to your worldview, I think that you should be asking a different question!
A BIG HUG!
