Is Truth momentary?

Have any of these questions risen in your mind. As adults we know or expected to know what the truth is. The question is do we really know what truth is?


Here are some questions if it has not come to your mind already,may be just to ponder over.



  • Is truth momentary?

  • Is truth really bitter?

  • Can truth be different to two or more people at the same time?


Lets take them one by one -



  1. Is truth momentary ?

Now let's take another instance - say you have a headache, (am sure we all have had headache sometime in our life, just imagine it was severe) and all your efforts to do other things, including watching ur favorite television show to relaxing to shopping to anything u wanna stretch the imagination to are all overshadowed by pain (at best it could be varying degree of reaction, some less, some a li'l more). But the truth of the moment is you are feeling the pain in and around your head. Is it going to last forever...hell no. Now let us say you have an aspirin and your headache is not felt severely, it means at that point in time this is the reality or truth.


2. Is truth bitter?


Let's take an example of a straight married couple wanting to have a child and are open to boy and girl with equal eagerness. Visualise or imagine a scene where the wife has just delivered a baby, husband and wife, family and friends are feeling overly joyous on the arrival of the kid. This is the truth which manifests in the form of happiness.


Now let's extend the same example, imagine an indian rural family where a girl child is regarded as a curse, the whole family is awaiting boy child and there is a baby girl. Do i need to speak of the reactions.


The truth is never bitter or happy, it's what we associate with truth makes it a happy or sad outcome.


3. Can truth be different to different people?


If statistics is to be believed, every second/s to less than a minute there is a child born. Let's see the reaction for a child just born, healthy, normal.



  • A child born to a stranger, we would be indifferent.

  • A child born to an acquaint, we will express happiness.

  • A child born to our close friend or family, happiness would be more.

  • Our child...the happiness is beyond all measures.

We fit into each of the above category every second, when we are having a child, lot of people are strangers, some are friends, some may just know us. So for the same moment you would have different reality.
