A few good men

I am not sure if you ever watched that film "A Few Good Men" I used to quite enjoy it. It is all about a top ranking army official who sanctions bullying on a soldier who ends up killing himself because of the bullying. There is a subsequent cover up and enter new hot shot lawyer Tom Cruise to draw the truth out from high flying army man Jack Nicholson. One of my favourite lines is "Do you want the truth, you can't handle the truth..." Jack Nicholson then confesses in a fit of pride.
The reason I mention it is because it throws up the biggest question for me, what is the truth and can we really handle the answer to that question. One of the things I find fascinating in life, is how you can have one person believing something and the person next door believing something totally different, how do you know which one has the truth, do they both have the truth, does it matter?
There can be only one truth, by that I mean all truth by it's very nature is exclusive. If an orange is orange it can only be orange, it can't be yellow and blue to. So the theory that all people can have the truth is absurd, the same as saying the colour orange can be yellow too and pink and so on. So there is only one truth, how do you find out the truth?
You examine the evidence, you look at both sides of the arguement as independently and as unbiased as you possibly can and then you draw a conclusion. My fear and certainly my experience tell me that many people dismiss the evidence before they have even begun, many people do not even start looking at the evidence about life, I think that this in part is down to the line in A Few Good Men - "We can't handle the truth....." We are scared by what we might find.
Can I encourage you to begin that journey, I used to have so many assumptions and objections, it wasn't until I investigated that I had my life completely transformed by uncovering some amazing truths.
We can't simply walk through life claiming we cannot know the truth, that in itself is claiming to know the truth, it is simply an objection to make us feel comfortable about not doing anything.

Please start looking into these things...
