Another Kind of Truth

Just a perspective on humanities ability to look at things differently, and inability to truly accept it

No one knows, nothing can be explained, not my pain, not the rain, the insane, our brains, even if everybody knows it, it’s through a different lens, it meets a different end, a different message to send, another kind of friend

No one understands the reality that entrances us in the conformity that morality is just another salary needing to be paid hourly for us to exist callously in life’s formality of creating a  mentality that it’s ok to hate cowardly waiting to feel powerful over the sorrowful loyal to the boiling point

No one would choose to be the joint that moves when it’s bark at to and marked and used and kicked and bruised until it can never get up again

Never having a friend, meeting an early end, merely around the bend because the fear rending the gears from our mind helps us find a reason to hate

No one admits the excuse we create to amuse our fate and keep words on our plate eating our righteous recited pious quiet bias until it consumes us and we riot in the fire of a higher power

A liar telling the choir to sire the sound of lightning so frightening that no matter the words that I’m writing people will continue fighting for no reason until on their knees crying or flying their colours until their prides blinding in the highlighting finding answers for their thoughts

Their very mind wide-eyed over the idea that we’re the same these people think that we are not

No one’s willing to listen, like we only exist to blame shame maim and exclaim our position of victory over the vicinity of inquisition permission to fire on the victims, stick them with venom until their liquid fixings need mending

No one’s merciful, defending our visage, our privilege, our riches, our religion, our mission, our position over a world so intermitting that I’m beginning to see the oppression rushing like blood red anger to my head again and I yell for hell to stop burning and for the heads to stop turning and staring hungry for a world so virgin that their merging the churning meaning in their words with what they want to believe and weave the world web that we see breed and breath

Believe me I want to see a bright future, but torturing life’s gentle tutor like an abuser is a word mover

And I know I’m just a loser, but could you see an excuse sooner to neutered and courter the suitors until the music defines the mood and the tune you have is happy to sap the morrow from their bones, and turn your heart so cold and hard that isn’t too far from stone

Own what you think, but think before you know, know before you talk, and share before you show, and when it’s time to grow a world under the snow, the bitter feels, the fool’s gold, the cold shoulders, the sad souls, the borders, the mourners, the haters, oppressions forger mortaring the way of the soldier

No one wants to be hurt, and most people don’t want to harm others

Open your arms, hope don’t harm and hug someone who loves through the sorrow we carry heavy forced to borrow, the weight of tomorrow, just like you, someone who feels pain too, someone who knew loves groove, someone who refuses to move under the push of abuse, who untied their noose wishes to win and never lose, and is simply living through another kind of truth

Because no one knows why the world is this way, but we all try to lend an ear, and hope that other’s hear, and listen, because we fear the verdict, but when people scream out for help, when they need someone else, I can only hope somebody’s heard it

I liked this that you wrote. It is the human condition. We all wish and want and need.
It is a nice poem.

I liked reading it. Take care.

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

Thanks, I'm happy you liked it. Feel free to read more of my stuff if you want. Maybe send me stuff you'd like read too. I'm happy to read something you've written as well.

Almost everything you listed as unexplainable is easily explainable.

I couldn't take it seriously because of that.

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

I understand. I believe that there is never really a "true" answer. As there are millions of different answers and opinions. I believe in the qualitative method of thinking rather than quantitative. Look that up if you don't know about these two methods. Things seem unexplainable to me, just because there are thousands of ways to explain things. Different "truths" where some people will believe one thing in a thousand people, and the other 999 would still have conflicting opinions. I understand that you have answers for these questions. Most people do. But I feel like it's different answers for each person. Therefore a different kind of truth. I respect your view point though. Things are easily explainable. There are just so many explanations. If you disagree with this, I still respect your opinion once again. I friendly debate or disagreement is fine, and is quite a good way to gain more understanding, through another point of view. I had to delete this reply because it had a spelling mistake and it won't let me edit. I said agreement instead of point of view. I took a look at it, and realized that's nothing like what I wanted to say. Funny how I almost said something that would have changed the entire conversation.

[Davidgeo]

Yeah, like most people, I know what qualitative and quantitative mean. smh...

I agree that a lot of things are subjective... but, there are common universal traits that we all agree on... interpersonal communication would be extremely difficult without a universal systemic interpretive process. Do you seriously not understand why it rains, what the general definition of insanity is, or the purpose of basic social morality? You might wanna look that stuff up...

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

My computer crashed, and I lost my reply, so I won't go in depth. Rain, insanity, have systems for why they exist. However why those systems exist can be answered in different ways. Humanity has an answer for most questions, but we don't know every answer to these questions. And the questions that we do know some believe and some do not. Just like we have a different opinion, it's the same sort of thing. There is some amount of understanding, but that understanding is not nessarily everything, or able to explain it's own existance. It's like saying if god created the universe, who created god? What is the reasoning behind why these things work the way they do. That I do not know. Sorry if you feel insulted, you and I just have different view points. I respect your point of view.

[Davidgeo]

You missed my point... while not everything can be known there is, in fact, objective truth. Socially, scientifically (especially mathematically), psychologically, etc.. Some information will be inevitably remain forever lost to us, like what happened prior to the big bang, i.e. what happened in the extremely distant past, etc.. But equating something like that with how when water gets warm it turns into vapor and then cools down and condenses into rain is not logical. Just because you don't know how something works doesn't mean no one can agree on how something works. It just means you don't know that much about a particular topic.

The school of thought you are trying to write about is called relativism, and it's an interesting way of looking at the world... but you include things that make your argument fallacious by comparing apples to oranges.

And I don't feel insulted, but I do feel you are a bit pretentious. Assuming people don't understand high school level definitions is kind of cringey on your part.

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

Fair enough, I agree with what you have to say. I understand how precipitation works and such, I simply wonder why it works in the way it does. Maybe I am a little pretentious for all I know. And your right, maybe these things are just the way we know them as, and that's it. Maybe the rain is this way just because it is. Anyways, I had fun talking to you and I've learned a few things from what's you've said. I'm going to look up relativism now. I wonder how if we know how the rain works completely, then how can we be wrong about when it rains, how much, how long, and where. And insanity is well understood too, but I still wonder what exactly brings about the different forms, and how it differs in people. Thank you for talking about this with me, it's an interesting topic.

[Davidgeo]

Why it works the way it does is primarily due to the atmospheric pressure, time of year, proximity to large bodies of water, dew point/humidity, ambient temperatures, and the molecular properties of water. The reason why we can't predict rain with 100% certainty is due to the massive scale of the planet and the amount of variables that are constantly interacting with each other at any given moment. As computing power has progressed climate modeling has become more tenable and far more accurate. I don't know how old you are but if you recall a couple decades ago weather prediction was far less accurate than it is today. Understanding how something works and predicting it's occurrences within an extremely complex environment are two very different things.

If you want to actually learn about insanity and it's different forms and the theories behind them all you have to do is educate yourself... you'd be surprised at how much the rest of the human species collectively knows.

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

Thanks, I'll check that out then.

[wordman]

the world is this way because of greed,the world is this way because it`s all about them and not you.
it is a don`t give a damn society

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

I agree, this is a world where people are greedy, can can't understand each other. A world where people aren't willing to give certain others a chance.

[wordman]

the world is full of them
