THE TRUTH
A book. The Sunrise. Picture frames.
These are all defined and given a purpose simply by being given a name. It is
to our misfortune that we receive only infinite small truths in the world and
those are names, there can be no more honesty beyond something or someones
identity. You never know what to believe past a name, you hope for the best and
prepare for the worst though expectations don’t do much good and false
advertising is plentiful. This isn’t so much judging a book by it’s cover but
by it’s title however I can’t determine which is worse or if either is
irrelevant. Now there’s a second part to truth and that’s interpretation,
regardless of what anything means things come into your life and they can
change it in the most minuscule ways or alter the course of your future, a
hobby can be discovered as something you want to devote your life to, and art
may possess such powerful inspiration and expand the way you think, for you
romantics out there the phenomenon of love can consume your very being, or at
least you will think that while you date during your time in high school. We
never see that in just the name, never feel it in the simple truth presented to
us at the first unimportant moment. There’s no common acceptance to all the truth
we face and interpretation is ever changing within us and those around us. For
example death pushes us to use our limited time to be remembered, many fail and
get lost in time, others choose to wait for death hopeful that happiness lies
behind it and each one of those individuals hardly see eye to eye. Perhaps
these are the ramblings of a cluttered minded adolescent unable to convey their
ideas properly or nonsense but the next time you come across something try to
find its identity, not by information overwhelmingly being spewed at you but
searching for its truth not only in its name but how we perceive it to effect
us and change us for better or worse.
The way this submission opened was very interesting to me. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteYou are insanely logical in your writing.(I mean that in a good way). Very interesting, and it was great hearing your point of view.

I always like what you have to say because its always different then what others think and its not always bad; you make me see things in a different light and at times question certain subjects i thought i was so sure about. I agree with you in the sense of not always getting the truth out of things and actually having to do some work and digging to see what someone or something is all about. "Perhaps these are the ramblings of a cluttered minded adolescent unable to convey their ideas properly" This is probably the best and most accurate way to describe most teenagers i really feel like you do a good job in taking out your ideas and expressing them well. :-) good job squeebs
ReplyDeleteWOW deep thought provoking topic steven! I love this abstract idea and it is evident a lot of thought went into creatin this piece. It really got me thinking and that means a lot in writing! Great Job
ReplyDeleteSteven you may or may not read this but I would like to say this was a very great submission...It was just so honest and I could really hear your voice in throughout the whole piece! I really enjoyed it! Great job and don't stop writing or being you!
ReplyDeleteThere were so many complex sentences it worked with the whole tone of your train of thought; nice!
ReplyDeleteThis idea was so thought provoking it had me thinking a lot. Well done!
ReplyDeleteyou are such an amazing writer! you have such a different outlook on life and its so interesting to hear a thought from a different perspective. thank you for giving you intellectual outlook! great job!
ReplyDeletei could see you using your hands while saying this aloud. Funky choice to have the title in all caps, was this intentional for the identity of those words and capitalization automatically have the reader assuming importance and required attention? The idea of honesty not goin beyond someones identity, was this sarcastic? A rejection of the confines of a single definition? The for better or worse conclusion, obviously reminded me of marriage, was this to convey the connection we have with our own identities holding its trials and joys, just as a marriage does? I didn't realize I'd asked so many questions. Thank you for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteThe title being in all caps was merely for dramatic effect, but the entire concept was pretty serious. I slightly tried to allude to the fact that nothing at all is really true and the only thing real is how individuals see things. Also I'm gal you caught on to the "for better or for worse" that was meant for everyone being "married" to their beliefs be them good or bad. Hopefully I answered your questions and anyone else's properly.
DeleteInteresting topic to write on it got me thinking I can say that much very thought provoking good job
ReplyDeleteVery interesting topic choice. I liked it very much because you shared what you believe. great job :)
ReplyDeleteSteven, I've been waiting to read your submission because I think you're talented and this was brilliant. You've made me think in a whole new perspective. Great job
ReplyDeleteWow Steven! You are such a great writer! Such powerful words and very interesting to me! Good job
ReplyDeleteThis has to be my favorite submission of the school year because it brought to light many things about life that we sometimes overlook and forget about.
ReplyDeleteEverytime steven writes it is always so deep and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really interesting topic and it really makes me think.. I have no words it's just so well written.. wow really great job!
ReplyDeletehey man. i feel you about the truth. was interesting to read and gotta accept the truth cause its the truth tho!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting piece, in a good way. It kind of took me a while to grasp what you were trying to say, but I enjoy that it got me thinking!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, something for me to think about. Love it man, good job!
ReplyDeleteThis really got me thinking.Really awesome piece Steven.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed seeing a different perspective, it caught my attention right away. Great Job
ReplyDeleteI love how you made me think throughout the entire thing..it really kept me interested:) Great job!
ReplyDeleteVery deep and interesting subject! The way you conveyed "the truth" was pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI liked your topin and that it is not something other think too much about. Your thought process never ceases to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I not see this blog submission? Ahhhhhhh it's really good
ReplyDeleteI love what you were saying about interpretation, just because something is deemed as "truth" doesn't mean it represents the same significance for everybody.. Very eye-opening and a refreshing take on what we see as truth!
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you think of the things in a different way. This was an interesting piece to read.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about something like this perhaps not on your level of complexity; there's something powerful in interpreting ideas, people etc. without the influence of its inherent reputation.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a concept I haven't thought about. I love your word choices!
ReplyDeleteinteresting. interesting. i am still confused. good work though, proud of ya
ReplyDeleteThis text got me thinking about what you were talking about and how important it is. GREAT WORK!!
