If a Tree falls..does it make a sound?

"If a Tree falls does it make a sound?"
Is meant as a riddle that raises question regarding observation and knowledge in reality.

What determines whether a context posted is within the acceptable frames of reality? What determines whether the structure of a sentence said or written has no hidden forms of deceit within them?


**Upon stepping into my blog,u have already agreed that u are to read the following materials published here and not have an opposing view on it,basically because its my blog. If u can't accept it,go else where. These are my views,theres no need to get upset because ur view differ. I do however accept constructive discussion though. However if ur intentions are to get red and angry at me,I'm afraid to say that u shud take things lightly and view life in a different angle. Cuz these are my thoughts. Who are u to disagree on them? Lastly,I blog to tell out my personal view on life. I dun scrutinize people specifically. My blog is not a ranting spot bout some jerk that destroyed my life.**


So...u agree? Alright. Let us proceed then.




We shall discuss this in the following article below :

I'll do a little story telling before I proceed.

Once upon a time *Argh,screw this shit*
In Arab,there was a renown artist that painted on dried animal skin and sold the portraits for high prices. His art was famous across the land.

Recently,he completed a painting of a girl.
Life-like and beautiful,yet alluring and was one painting that would tinker with the human mind. *Think of Mona Lisa,many still wonder till date is it a Man/Woman*

The next day,the art was unveiled to the public at an exhibition..

But many were surprised.

"Is that an angel?" One said.
"Nah it can't be,I saw the Devil in it!" Yelled a man from across the Square.

Discussion occur and rumor spreaded like wild fire that the artist painted a picture filled with different influences to temper with the human mind. And that it was a dastardly picture. None could really tell whether the picture portayed 1)A Human 2) An Angel or 3) A devil.

And no one would buy the painter's argument.

"But I am but a painter! I paint for a living! I draw every of my art with sincerity and produce such arts to impress u all. There was no such thought of drawing anything else while I was painting. It was and will always be strictly a painting..of a girl!"

His arguments fell upon deaf ear. No one would listen to a liar.

---------------------------------------

U see..this was the case that happen most recently. I'm not gonna beat around the bush. Rather,I will approach this method systematically.

1)The painter merely painted the picture. Had no intentions of drawing anything else in mind. He merely painted what he imagined in his mind during that time (An image of a girl). All in all,it was painting.

2)The people saw it differently. They saw the picture as anything other than what it was portraying. Some saw it as good (The angel) while others saw it as bad (The devil).

3)The people lost track of the main focus in this scenario. What was the painter painting? A girl. But it was individual perception that draw them closer into thinking that the painter was manipulating the people and tricking them with mind illusions.

The story above basically summed up a small misunderstanding that happen. You see,as a painter..I paint honest pictures from the fabric of reality. From the very eyes I use to see,I describe them carefully and mainly translate them properly. I did not add any spices,or extra ingredients. It was what I saw,and my very account and experience. Crystal clear,and honest..

So,if u were to see my depictions of an event that occur wrongly..were it to be my fault for portraying it wrongly? Hopefully no offense taken..but isn't what I'm depicting the truth? Its reality. I didn't change a bit of it. I didn't add additional stories to make it look nicer right? Its factual.. Concrete proof.

So if this is the case,why would the words deceive..betrayal and backstab be used?

Does anyone even know what backstab means?

Backstab (Betrayal) :is the breaking or violation of a presumptive contract, trust, or confidence that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship amongst individuals, between organizations or between individuals and organizations.(Wiki,shit source I know)

To backstab someone,u have to have some sort of emotional bridge linked with the other person. U have to know him/her. Problem is...I know nothing. So how does this qualify under betrayal/backstabbing? The statement is therefore rejected.

In order to backstab..there must be a lie/deceit spreaded to cause mistrust and hence betrayal among 2 people/a group of people. Contradicting to that,I merely painted out fractions of reality in my depiction of events. I never once added anything extra or out of context. Not a pinch of my personal view on the matter. Nothing. I stated facts and for that was condemned a betrayer. I spoke the truth which I've seen from my own eyes..and re-translated them onto a new form to be explored by others. So why am I,for that a backstabber? Who really has a grasp of reality now?

"Lets say ur school suddenly had a new student. And it was made known that this new student,A had a bad history record. If I said that Person A was a school bully last time that had a bad school record to another fellow student (who was absent during the announcement) on a pretext of warning my fellow friends to be careful, Am I backstabbing Person A?"

Why so if u answered yes? What trust have I betrayed?
I was merely stating the truth am I not? And there was no consequences to be held against me because it was the truth and nothing but the truth.


That was an example of my case. I was the one telling my other friends to be careful of Student A. I painted nothing but the truth but was mentioned a backstabber indirectly. Though the jab wasn't brutal to the heart,but I felt uncomfortable and pondered. Why am I a backstabber? In what way have I betrayed anyone?

Then I came up with the reasoning (The story about the painted and the girl picture).

If a person was to speak about another,but the words spoken were of nothing but the truth..despite it being an ugly truth...why is this consider an act of betrayal/backstabbing? No matter how u try to change it,its the truth. Despite it being a bad and ugly truth. Something ridiculous and nonsensical, u can't change it bcuz its a FACT. And stating facts to another person contradicts the act of betrayal because lies,deceit and gossip are spreaded to cause mistrust.

U can't have backstabbing if u merely spoke of facts right? Bcuz there is ntg to argue. There is no way that a person can deny that,bcuz its a fact..fullstop.

Sometimes we talk and communicate,till we lost track of reality and the things we see with our own eyes. For eg. Take the story about the arabic painter above. Whats reality? The painting is of a girl. No matter what its a painting. But what do u see? Could be anything but the girl.

As for the concept of betrayal,speaking of the truth never will account for betrayal of trust. NOT at least when u still do not have any trust or contract linked to the other person. I have no link with the other person (Eg. B),so no matter what it will never be an act of betrayal. Bcuz I had no contract and emotional bond to this person. Hence it will not trigger any sentimental bias or trauma feedback that I'm betraying sumone else.

So..all in all,does speaking about a person whom u have no link to whatsoever count as betrayal?

The ans to my argument is No. Because I share no emotional bond,am not tied down emotionally and chained mentally to the contract of trust. Therefore if I were to breached it,I will definitely feel no emotional trauma or psychological remorse. For I speak the truth. All in all,its the truth.
Take it.

If I paint a story for ur ears,and I added not a pinch of my personal views on it..would u consider that also to be of bias in terms of sentimental values?

The ans for me is No. Basically cuz I didn't add any form of personal view in it. The story portrayed is in its raw form. I didn't alter it I didn't change anything. So why should I be crowned a Bias Bastard that Paints other people Evil?

I posted this not for the sake of annoying people. But rather to speak my mind freely as I wish. I express it here so if by all means u feel like taking out ur hse wall in one punch,kindly leave my blog then do it.

Lastly,a reminder :

**Upon stepping into my blog,u have already agreed that u are to read the following materials published here and not have an opposing view on it,basically because its my blog. If u can't accept it,go else where. These are my views,theres no need to get upset because ur view differ. I do however accept constructive discussion though. However if ur intentions are to get red and angry at me,I'm afraid to say that u shud take things lightly and view life in a different angle. Cuz these are my thoughts. Who are u to disagree on them? Freedom of speech FTW*


Well that concludes my discussion

As a former debate member,I just couldn't let this topic slip by my hands. :)

So....when a tree falls...does it make a sound? ;)





Till then.
