Kate Winslett Couldn't Think of This One On Her Own
I watched "The Life of David Gale" over the weekend. One thing Bitsy, a journalist (played by the buxom Kate Winslett) said that keeps rolling over and over in my head.
"There is no such thing as truth... Only perspective."
I absolutely do NOT believe this, only I find this is true in more cases than not (Wait, how can this be "TRUE?" Awww, this philosophical quandary was also raised in the movie).
I believe there are eternal truths, except they aren't what we think they are. More situations call for interpretation beyond the application of just one principle. A hierarchy of virtues can help you navigate but it cannot answer all questions.
And if more is just perspective than truth, where and how do we stand and for what reasons?
I think I'm wasting time at work when I should be ordering plasma screen monitors.
