-an autobiographical essay
I have no single philosophy in life but rather two philosophies- single but extremely effective. Love and truth are what I believe in. Each of which has different meaning. They are equally important. Without both, neither peace or happiness can be attained, things fall apart, wars break out, and personal relationships fail. But, the combination of love and truth is a powerful force and can overcome life’s most unpleasant trials.
Truth is the same as Science. Science is the search for new knowledge, discoveries, and for clearer and accurate view of things. In other words, it is a quest for truth which one seeks. Telling the truth sustains effective communication and trust preventing misunderstanding. Telling lies creates an environment of distrust and fear. Like Science, it is best to tell the whole truth to all persons, in discovering new things. Without proof and truth, the statements are unreliable and will be ignored. But with proof and evidences, people will honor you for that. Thus, truth and science are similar, it’s best to either tell the whole truth and the complete truth.
Love never fails to care. It is an overpowering urge to protect, defend, and nurture someone. It is the cohesive force which tends to bind people together just as hate is the divisive force which drives people apart. But without love, life is nothing without sadness, emptiness, and loneliness. Love is one thing that makes life worth living. To be happy in life, find what you love and follow it. Money, opinions, judgments does not matter but love matters. Hence, love cares.
Truth is necessary to support love. For without the truth, one does not have the power to protect what one loves. Truth is the power. It allows you to see rightly around you instead of darkness and it enables one to protect, defend, and nurture what one loves. Conversely, love is necessarily to support truth. For without love, the motivation for truth will vanish. With love, it allows you to eagerly know the truth. So, the interdependence of love and truth are necessary to support the other.
Without both love and truth, one cannot be happy in life. These two things support each other and nurture each other. Without one, the other cannot survive. That is why I have chosen to build my philosophy around these two concepts rather than around morality, politics, laws, rules, or prejudices. If you base your life on hatred and lies, they shall destroy you. But if you base your life on love and truth, they shall set you free. Such things come and go like dust on the winds of time, but love and truth remain, always.
