Truth means genuine,
not a claim of objectivity
not a certificate of property
a long gone knowledge resonating again,
a clogged up stream flowing again,
doing what streams are supposed to to.
Nature.
‘True’ Nature.

That is somewhat idealistic – said the cynic.
« Truth » is a word.
A word is a symbol of an idea.
It can never be « objective », though those with axes to grind may claim otherwise.
It is a particularly dangerous symbol, because it hides a claim of knowledge, of authority. It is the basis of abuse.
It means what the user wants it to mean – but only to the user. It means whatever the hearer wants it to mean – but only to the hearer. Would that the hearers, in particular, might realise this.
I want it to mean nothing. That renders it harmless, robs the would-be abuser of power.
To me, it is meaningless.

What truth does the stream claim?

The steam claims nothing, indeed…
Philosophical concept vs. Inner knowledge.
I’ve let go of the former.
