yesterday, in a rare incident of me watching daytime televison, i tuned in to OPRAH, who was interviewing actress uma thurman, who in turn was interviewing one of her idols, actress meryl streep. in the interview, thurman asked streep what in life did she really know for sure.
i don't remember streep's answer, as it wasn't all that profound, which is ok. but it did get me thinking...what do i really know for sure?
the answer for me is...no answer. i can't say i know anything is sure. as a matter of fact, i am coming more and more to the conclusion that nothing is sure. i don't think there is any real truth out there, if you are looking for truth on the conventional yardstick. it seems to me now that instead of seeking truth and answers, i am just seeking information. i used to seek the information so that i could make an informed decision, but now i think i just want the facts to ponder over. i don't have to make a decision about everything. even the decisions i do make, always aren't meant to stay permanent. i guess life isn't sure, perception isn't sure, and even good old ben franklin might not be sure about death and taxes...life is probably THE TRUMAN SHOW and somewhere someone is having a good laugh looking at us playing out "life" under a microscope...
