Truth like success is often a mirage that is better viewed from a distance. The closer you go to it, the more susceptible you become to realizing the ‘truth’ that lurks in the shadows of what you perceived to be the truth. The truth in the shadows is often at complete variance with the truth viewed from a distance.
Same goes for success. This is a mirage that you slowly approach in a step by step manner only to realize at the last step that it was not what you were striving for. You still don’t know what you are striving for and thus starts another quest for success only to end in a similar way.
So is there anything called success or truth?
If we approach truth through what we call a ‘lie’ or something which is not a ‘fact’ can it take us anywhere near truth?
Similarly if we approach success through what we call a ‘failure’ can it take us anywhere near success?
The answer is both yes and no.
Yes because anything that is not a fact does not exist and anything that is not failure is success. The degree of course can vary. The realization of this degree is something that can clear the mirage mentioned in the beginning.
And no because there is nothing called complete success or absolute truth.
