How To See The Truth

I heard a very interesting quote yesterday which got me pondering.

"If you wish to see the truth, hold no opinions."

When we have opinions then our point of view will be distorted.

We will be looking for things that prove us right and may miss the reality of the situation.

Right or wrong is only a point of view.

If I asked you if it's wrong to kill a person, you may come back with a quick "yes".

But what if that person attacked you and was trying to kill you? Or worse, they were attacking your child or your mother?

I know, this is an extreme example but killing a person may end up being "right" in your mind in this situation.

But right or wrong has nothing to do with the truth. The truth is reality.

Don't let your opinions distort the truth (reality) that is right in front of you.

But this is just my opinion...
