Ego Vs The Truth

6 September 2008 (Sat.)

"Light travels faster than sound"...
         Ego takes everything personally. Emotion arises, defensiveness, perhaps even aggression. Are you defending the truth? No, the truth, in any case, needs no defense. The light or sound does not care about about what you or anybody else thinks. You are defending yourself, or rather the illusion of yourself, the mind-made substitute. It would be even more accurate to say that the illusion is defending itself...
- Pg. 68, A New Earth: Awakening to your life's purpose,   by Eckhart Tolle

在宇宙间,确实有真理的存在;然而在人与人相处之间,是否真的有这么一个definite的真理存在?抑或着是个人的角度观点不同而已?
