"Red or Blue?"

this is a famous question in the film: Matrix. if you choose the red tablet, you can know the truth. Blue one, come back the the fake dream, keep the sense of security.

in real life, people mostly deal with the question: "Shall i living in a lie?". this is a philosophical question, which was asked since human beginning start to think. Some say, under the lie, people feel safe and easy. since every "seem" to be understand. how do we know we are living in a lie? so, what i feel is real. some say, the truth, is always covered by the myth, but living in truth, no matter how, better living in a lie. Some say, is there something real? Some even say, if "Lie" and "Truth" can also explain thing, why need to distinguish them?

i am not going to discuss the existence of the truth, but assume it in this way: the truth is a limit, we can only dig deeper and deeper, to approach the truth, but never reach it. So, the lie or truth, is just a level of "truthness".

why the truth is so important? no, or just to me-self? ..... i am thinking of it.

obviously, the truth sometimes mean Right. for a judge, truth can provide a proper judgment: let the criminal iron, and free the innocence.

Truth -> proper judgment

think reverse,

proper judgment -> truth.

this may be more like reality. other example, like, truth can provide proper judgment, proper judgment will lead to workable action.

Truth -> proper judgment -> workable action

shortly, the truth can guide us to a workable action. but sometimes, we define the truth as a theory that is work.

workable action -> proper judgment -> Truth

this happen because no one can know the truth (since it is more like a verb than a noun, a process of knowing deeper), better re-write as,

workable action -> proper judgment -> Closer Truth

on the other hands, Lie, we all living in different degree of lie, or cover......
