Truth vs Reality -Magenta Blue   Author:  13897  Category:(Philosophy) Created:(7/28/2004 1:27:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (1334 times) I was just reading a poem titled "The Records of Time" by Miguel Piñero, and as I was trying to really understand what he was saying, a part of it caught my attention. Just giving some background info, this is how the poem starts: "Two hundred fifty million years ago, long before the recorded history of man, someone sat down and recorded it; And this man's name was Time". It then continues on: "He lived hear a wise old gentleman named His Story and his wife Truth, and their two sons Hypocrisy and Reality. Truth was a very blunt woman [....] Though she loved her family equally, she had a certain affection for Reality". So this made me think of the difference between truth and reality. I want to know what you all think. I just gave that bit of information (the excerpts from the poem) to explain where I was coming from and what gave me the idea for this. I'm wondering why this author felt the need to separate those two things in his poem, since they seem to be extremely similar. But I want your ideas! So, let's discuss! =) *brings out the gourmet coffee, snobby organic tea, and old halloween cookies, after, of course, dusting them off*. My hospitality really is something, eh?
