Theos-Talk Archives (February 2007 Message tt00350)

HPB gave us a great image of truth. There is one Truth, and many 
reflections, like the reflections of the full moon on the waters of a 
lake. Each reflection is a fragment of the original truth, but none 
contains the whole truth. It is also stated that two diametrically 
opposite statements can both be true. It's all a matter of point of 
view. When we start making decisions (judgements) about who is right 
and who is wrong, whose truth is more true and whose is less true, we 
get onto a very slippery slope, and most likely we slide a bit, or a 
lot. Humanity's history is full of atrocities, all based on this 
process, which all boils down to "my god is better than your god." 

Why not live and let live? Who among us can really honestly say we 
know what is right for another? Isn't it enough of a challenge to 
figure out what is right for ourselves?
