THE TRUTH AND MY TRUTH




Do you know that something can be true and yet not the truth? I like the way Mr. Pojo puts it: "What is true to you is a function of your reasoning, individuality, and maturity."

These three factors that validate what’s true to you vary from person to person. Therefore, what is true to you may not necessarily be true to me because we don’t reason the same way, we are unique individuals, and we operate at different levels of maturity.

In Hebrew, the word אמת (emet) represents absolute truth, unchanging and universal. This Truth (emet) is entirely different from what we consider true based on personal experience, which is merely subjective and shaped by our interactions with life. It isn’t sufficient or universal because it lacks a generic application.

Just because something is true to you, validated by your experience and logic, doesn’t make it the Absolute Truth (emet). Personal experiences evolve, and your "truth" is not constant. As human beings, we are continually evolving, stepping into new levels of reasoning and personal growth that can reshape or even completely alter our truths.

Think back: what you firmly believed years ago may no longer hold as much weight in your present life.

Dearest reader, the point is this: your truth is valid, but you must understand not to impose it on others because it is subjective. There exists a higher Truth, one superior to our individual perspectives.

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
