Let's say a person A tells you that B, your reactions:
a) A is a liar (A has told you a lie)
b) A is not a liar
What do you mean by a liar? What A should say to be a liar? Okay, let's say that he says lie, and what he's reported you is a lie. Then what? Even if you tell you a lie, this may appear to be truth?..
What? You don't believe me? You think I'm a liar? Then I'm going to calm you down, and to prepare for something unusual.
Anything A said might be something contradiction (claiming at the same time something like 'C is D' & 'C is not D'), or not. If it is a contradiction, so what? Let's write it down:
- Hi
- Hi, there
- I'm going to a theatre and I'm not going to a theatre
- ?? You've just uttered a contradiction
- So what?
- This means you're a liar
- Really?
- Yeah
- But why do you call me a liar? I'm a honest man. I don't lie. I wanted to utter a contradiction and I did.
I may put here the other versions, but the central meaning is the same - there's nothing unusual or weird in contradiction. But okay, we have cracked out those contradictions, what about the other things? Why do we call someone a liar?
Maybe a liar is the one whose words are not what they mean? Another example:
- Hi
- Hello
- What is a day today?
- Tuesday
- Really? My phone says it Thursday
- Tuesday
- Hey, you're wrong, today is Tuesday, this is the Internet and it never lies
[we don't know whether or not Internet is liar, but who cares about it now?]
- For me Tuesdays are Thursdays. It is, and it's always been.
- ?? You're a liar
- Whoa, no shoo.
- Yes, you are.
- No, I am not. Today is Tuesday, and today is Thursday. I just like to use these words interchangeably. It is my style. I was never gonna lie to anyone. You've just never asked me about it. So, it's your fault...
Okay, the main point, I believe, is understood. If you got it, then you should also ask yourself, so what if someone is a liar? Politicians of all the times were liars, but didn't it mean they couldn't say true? Yes, they could. A liar can tell the truth.
There is no difference between a liar, and a true-teller, because how are we suppose to get it? As I said: neither contradictions, nor confusing the meaning cannot save us from a chance for a liar to tell the truth. And a liar always can appeal that he just wanted to say X instead of Y. If contradictions don't mean anything, and meaning of the words are free to use, then our chances to find the truth are as small as never before.
The whole world is sinking in a lie, but it doesn't mean everyone lies. No, nobody tells the truth, and nobody knows anything about anything. It seems like the whole reality is some kind of a reality show, where 'reality' isn't real a bit.
Well, I don't know. Maybe everything I said above is not truth. I don't know. Honestly speaking, what is truth, and what is not - is not so easy to explain. Maybe what I understand by the truth is the truth for me, but how am I suppose to be certain about telling someone about it makes my words be true?.. I do no know it.
