There’s a saying, “if a tree falls in the forest, but nobody hears it, does it make a sound?”. It’s incredibly philosophical. Amazingly, awesomely philosophical. Almost too much so – I barely understand it really. What is it even about? Truly think about if for a moment … read it again …. I think it’s about perception, and I think there’s something to say here about truth. Here’s my reasoning: Of course trees make noises when they fall, we all know that, we’ve all heard it, whether in real life or on TV. So the answer is yes. But what if a tree fell and nobody heard it? What if nothing at all heard it? I really mean it – nothing – not a bird not a bug, nothing. If we could say beyond a doubt that nothing heard the tree fall, then there’s our proof. Nothing heard, which means nothing to hear, which means no sound to hear, which means no sound was made.
You must be tried or something, because this is both dull and whacked out.
Excuse me, but I am sharing! This is my sharing place where I can “weave” whatever thoughts I choose into the “fabric” of my blog.
“Whatever” “man”. ”Use” quotations “much”? All I’m saying is I wouldn’t want to read this.
Then don’t. Go. Away. You’re interrupting, AND creepy. I never really figured out who you are in the first place! I don’t like the fact that you exist and I don’t want you here!

Good riddance! … Lost my train of thought, so I’ll get to the point. Things are what they are inherently, and we can’t change that. What we can change is our perception. Arguments in philosophy can always be stripped down to a difference in perception, which makes perception more important than facts. What can change perception? Persuasion? No. If we all see everything differently, then does truth differ? Is there then no truth at all? No certainly there is truth, because this I know and this I believe: Jesus said “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.” (John 14:6) Again I ask, what can change perception? Truth can.
That was much better.
