There are few truths that are universal in the sense that they are true in any time and place.
What may be true for someone (about something) in one place may not be the case for someone else another time.
You may believe you know what defines the word "BIG".
It may be anything bigger than an Elephant. Another person who lives where elephants aren't so un-common may thing that "BIG" would be anything bigger than a lake or mountain.
Another person who knows mountains well and working at the Very Large Array may believe that "BIG" is wonderfully exemplified by any nebulae you may find amoung the stars.
Very Large Array in San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico.
While working at the VLA his artistic friend paints concept images based on data from the VLA to help other people understasnd what is out there. His idea of "BIG" is the scope of the human imagination, and he can imagine a whole lot!
So with such an ease with which it's possible to have many ways to interperet something, how is it possible to have any universal truths? After all, if i say it's a "banana" and you say it's a "sea of pulped grapes bubbling in the moonlight", who is saying the truth?
Truth is usually popular oppinion. As long as enough people believe it, it will be accepted as true for anyone else that's new to it.
Usualy it is the cause of friction when people are involved as the Ego is very sensitive to what it will and won't allow. People have are very qualified at taking things personally.
The Universe does not revolve around you. You are are part of it, a very small part.
Yet there are truths that are universal. These are discovered. They are true regardless if anyone is about to observe them, in the same way that mathematics was true before anyone added 1+1 together.
Are there any truths that change? Have there been any that once existed and now do not or vice versa? Of course there are. People live and then die. Things were once here before they were there, etc.
There are many truths that i could list here. "Being hit by a speeding loaded truck will hurt" would be a waste of time and energy as it is a specific truth that isn't usefully applied to many other things.
"Too much is not good" will greatly serve you as a remembered truth as it applies to EVERYTHING.
You can get help with confidence by reading through books about every specific situation: Confidence in the workplace, Confidence in relashionships, Confidence with family, Confidence when giving speeches, etc. These may help you in thos specific instances, but you will still need help he next time you don't have enough confidence. It is better to learn why you have little confidence and address those reasons.
Once addressed at the root cause, the symptoms, wherever they could occur, will cease. That is a better way and saves time and energy. Things we may not be as infinite as people currently believe.
So i'm mainly interested in universal truths that help the most. The tools that you can apply to whatever you want they will still be usefull.
