The Truth We Believe Is It Really Ours? – Critical Thinking from Tolstoy's Wise Sayings
🧠 The "Jinri" we believe in. Is it real?
There are things that we often believe to be true.
Didn't your parents, school teachers, and society teach you when you were a kid believe you were **'truth'**?
But Tolstoy asked the question, "Is the truth that we believe in really our truth?"
The truth he said is a warning that it is likely an outside idea that we have accepted without criticism.
📜 Tolstoy's wise saying
"We all, at first, heard the unquestionable 'truth' from my grandmother,
Next, I heard "Jinri" from my teachers,
It's like a little kid who repeatedly says 'truth' that he's heard from more prominent people who are older."
– Tolstoy
This quote seems to confess that we live like children by repeating other people's words.
As we grow up, we learn a lot of 'truth'.
But can they be our truths?
Maybe we're just mistaking someone's words for "truth"?
🔍 Who made the 'truth' we commonly believe in?
Many of the truths that we believe and follow
It comes from outside influences such as society, education, religion, and culture.
But these truths didn't go through my own experiences and thinking,
It may be merely an acceptance as given.
• The truth that your parents tell you,
• The teaching of the school teacher,
• Social norms and so on are examples of that.
Just because they all believe and follow the truth, is it really 'the truth I have experienced'?
💭 Where does the true truth come from?
The truth that Tolstoy said is the truth that he has agonized and experienced.
We do not necessarily follow the truth given from the outside,
It is important to find the truth through the process of thinking and experiencing deeply.
• The process of doubting, questioning, and exploring is the way to find the true truth.
• They grow their own thoughts away from external influences,
Finding what you really believe in is the way to true truth.
🌱 Today's question
Why do I believe that?
We are often prone to being swayed by the voices around us.
So I want to ask myself, reflecting on Tolstoy's famous saying.
• Why do I believe this idea to be true?
• Is the belief based on my experience or did I learn from someone?
• Are you making an effort to find my truth beyond the outside 'truth'?
When we ask these questions, we are no longer trapped in the truth of others,
You will be able to find your own truth.
✨ What is truth?
Truth is not simply a fact given from the outside.
The true truth is the result of my own experience, doubt and inquiry.
Therefore, it is important for us to always ask ourselves and have an attitude of concern.
