hey man don't walk into that tree.

is a directive, not a truth.

But, is there a universal truth for all of us?

Yes, and it is written in the atoms of your being. You cannot deny your own flesh, although you may mutilate it.

So, how I wrote the sentence can be seen by your <directive> perspective. Yet, this perspective disregards the context of the conversation and cherry picks meaning from a sentence and not the whole picture. And I could have written my idea down with more clarity. Hence, the tree is a shared reality and is truth as soon as you break you nose.

With this in mind your next statement supports my original thought. The tree's own atoms and being is a truth...NO? Well, I cannot deny the trees flesh or my own.

All Hail Bob!

...create a great day...
