This post is made of lies

[kigs]

You are looking at black marks on an electronic screen. Some people call these words.

Are there levels of truth? If something is slightly false, is it impossible for it to also be true?

You are looking at black marks on an electronic screen. Then, you are telling yourself that they form words. Then, you extract meaning from the organization of these words.

Since words are not symonomous with their meanings in the same way that a picture of an apple is not an apple then, in presenting you with words, I am presenting you with an image which you draw meaning from. As the meaning is not the same as the word, and two seperate messages cannot be the same truth, then I am telling you lies. Further more, you are willingly believing my lies.

All words are made of a little bit of lies, since they are not equal to the truth.

This represents a viewpoint that I have heard.
I think this is a bad viewpoint, but I want more opinions.
What do you think?

Truely,

Simple.

Words are words, no matter what medium is being used to deliver them. Be they read through paper or electronically from pixels on a screen, spoken calmly or shouted at the top of one's lungs, words form the base of human communication. Truth and lies are subjective. A picture of an apple is very much an apple; the apple may not be there for eating, but an apple is still the idea being conveyed.

I believe that people overcomplicate things far too much for their own good. I also believe that the pixels I've just keyed into this document represent what I'd say if I were standing face-to-face with...well, whoever asks such a question.

Actually, I don't believe that. It's already fact, regardless of establishment. So, you could say that I know it instead.

I also know that my throat is try, and so I must embark upon a quest to the kitchen, for I have developed a craving for tea the likes of which I have never craved before.
