    There are personal truths for what is personal philosophy of life, but your truths directing decisions effecting/affecting potential futures.

    There are the little truths we share like hey man don't walk into that tree.

    But, is there a universal truth for all of us? This requires experimentation, a discussion (about all the personal truths we use for one's self) between many People at a level of personal depths of inner information. The majority of humans would shy away from participation. It must be a set and setting from, which all participants feel trust, safe and equals with all others in the room. The more detail I put into this thought of how to come up with an answer to is there a universal truth for all of us...the more the experiment will be come too difficult of most humans to participate.

    ...my two cents of the cuff...

    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...

    There is no spoon, but there are maybe true, truth, truisms.
