As my first entry into the blogosphere, I'd like to introduce myself by briefly describing my intentions for this blog. Who I am is not important, and may only prejudice the reader/blog participant, so I will try to remain anonymous, with the exception of my discussions, which will reveal more about me than any single person usually knows about another.
As the title of my blog and gmail suggest, I am on a quest for truth. I firmly believe that the search for truth requires a broad discussion, or a dialectical conversation encompassing any and all topics. I am a participant in that discussion, though I may make some assertions in my writings that I hope will be provocative and incite discussion. Moreover, if I make an assertion, I do not propose it to be fact or fixed. Indeed, I am only making assertions in the tradition of, say, Ralph Waldo Emerson, who says "speak what you think now in hard words and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said today..." ("Self-Reliance"). Thus, if someone teaches me to change my mind, I will. But, they must provide proof or damning evidence to change my mind.
The main focus of this blog, though, will be politics, religion/spirituality, philosophy, culture and truths. I include politics and culture in this discussion, because I believe they most affect our thinking and sometimes blind us to the truth.
So, without further ado, let the blogging begin...
Peace,
Saty
