A Dialogue on the nature of Truth

He asked, “Are you thirsty?”

I said, “Yes, I am.”

He asked, “What kind of thirst is it?”

I paused and said, “The thirst for knowing the truth.”

He answered,” No one has quenched this thirst for the truth. What are you going to do?”

I said, “I will copy others and trick myself.”

He asked, “What do you mean?”

I reiterated, “I will deceive myself and tell him a lie that he is the most knowledgeable, hardworking, and brilliant in this life.”

He asked, “What is the need of knowledge, reason, contemplation, and conscience in you and me?”

I answered, “Like we see diversity around us, our being is disparate. Nietzsche thinks that man is the most diverse being. It has layers of diversity in mind, heart, soul, and reason, each  unique with its own characteristics.”

He said, “Does that mean man’s knowledge is not cohesive?”

I answered, “The soul, mind, heart, and self are individual beings. Each has its own mind, self, heart, and reason. The body contains them inside.”

He asked, “Who has the better truth and more power—the mind, heart, reason, and self?”

I smiled and said, “The mind, heart, soul, and self have their weaknesses and strengths. They dispute the information coming to them through my mind and heart. Their self, heart, soul, and reason conquer my soul, mind, reason, and heart. This is the perpetual state man has been in since eternity. He has an entrenched thirst for truth and seeks knowledge to quench. He fails in his search and tricks and deceives himself using the acquired knowledge.”
