TMD: The View From The Top

There's something breathtaking about a view from the top of a mountain.
It's so interesting how something so large like a building or a freeway could look so tiny from afar. And to be able to shrink a city that stretches for miles and miles into one large populated blob in your peripheral vision is a bit strange. To live in a world so large and yet so small at the same time.

Perception changes the concept of reality. When reality can be altered so easily, truth becomes an opinion. The only truths that hold are the foundational truths. The basics of which God had created. Blue is blue. Sea is sea. Human is human. That truth cannot be changed. Or can it? Blue is blue until it's mixed with red, then it becomes purple. Sea is sea until it meets the boundaries of an ocean. So then, does the truth change, or does the object in which holds the value of that truth change? Or would that even be a valid argument, considering that when the object holding that value of truth changes, then the truth itself was not true to begin with. Then we'd have to assume that the concept of truth is not permanent. And if truth were to change, then "truth" would not be truth.

Knowing that the world is ever changing, that truth is fragile due to the inevitability of change, I rejoice. I rejoice knowing that the the only truth that truly matters is an unchanging deity that loves me and has given me eternal hope in His unchanging character.
