world without truth

Submitted by Anonymous (guest) on Sat, 02/07/2009 - 10:13pm.

I am responding to your comments-

"in effect, only truth is that there is no truth, would we rather accept this and try to make our lives meaningful in the face of it, or would we prefer to turn a blind eye to it for the sake of contentedness/happiness?

Happiness, I think, resides in the truth more than it does in something artificial.

Let me suggest some questions-

Is truth then about happiness?
What is happiness?
How do you determine what is artificial?
What would truth have to be for a person to know it is truth?
Does life ever have actual meaning?
