Universal truth concepts (alvie)

"Still in all whichever truth paradigm from which to develop one’s reality, would not the notion of “misuse” be viewed in the same way? So it is that there is at least one universal notion that transcends all truth paradigms. One might apply the same argument to other words and ideas."

You are right. It is except I get traffic enough as it is and my site does not have the economic feature that some do. However, since I post here as a guest, I asked the Administrator as to whether we should do this.

If enough of you do not like the idea then let admin know and I am sure she will rethink her decision.

Here is next excerpt from my latest essay.

"Are 'good' and 'evil' equivalent opposites? In other words if you were to put both concepts on a scale would they measure exactly the same just at opposite ends?

"Well, the answer is 'No!' Why? Simply go back to the original argument, because one is dependent upon the existence of the other there cannot be equivalency."

The site in the previous posting will get you to the new essay.[i]

"If one considers the chaotic outcomes of perverted words going forward in time, then it seems plausible that one should consider the antecedent words pushing back in time. That is to say that if one could time travel to moments just after the 'big bang' or 'creation' or whatever fits into one’s truth paradigm, such antecedent words would be in a purer form. Thus the concept of 'good' would be a much more purer form of good than is known today."

Thoughts?

For me firstly I have to look at the idea of a "universal good", does it exist? I'm not so sure myself as I believe different people have very different moral scales. Other creatures (or whatever else) may not have what we would consider a moral scale at all.

Its a nice idea to believe in a universal good, but is it plausible?

So my question to you is, a purer good but on who's moral scale?

I hope this makes sense :S lol

DUK,

Sorry to leave you hanging, for the most part out of town now trying to catch up.

My argument was that there is a notion in every truth paradigm and that notion bears the label, "good." I did not seek to define it not suggest that there were even moral equivalents between various people groups, cultures, etc.

If you get into the discussion as to what "good" looks like across various cultures it is outside the argument I posted on my blog.

Make sense? Hope so. Look forward to your comments here or on fb where I often discuss things with folks.

Be safe, and let me know what you think.
