Truth always lies to some extend

 

“You never know the truth”

Thinking is almost basic thing every human do but we use to distract with various unwanted stuff and don’t even think most of the time which is bounded by our actual mental state and prejudiced oriented thoughts. Let us consider a small story.

A boy moves to a new city for writing exam. He enters and starts writing exam. There exists a meat shop where chicken will be slaughtered for every 10 to 15 minutes. As time passes, he could hear a breath taking sound of chicken slaughtered nearby. He heard that but still he continue to write. Again he could hear the same thing and for every 10 to fifteen minutes he could hear that and he starts thinking about chicken farming and slaughtering by human as a part of dominance over the creatures among the earth. He could remember the chicken’s ability which surprised him while he read it for the first time. Now he could see the words….

“Egg-laying hens, for example, have a complex world of behavioral needs and drives. They feel strong urges to scout their environment, forage and peck around, determine social hierarchies, build nests and groom themselves. But the egg industry often locks the hens inside tiny coops, and it is not uncommon for it to squeeze four hens to a cage, each given a floor space of about twenty-five by twenty-two centimeters. The hens receive sufficient food, but they are unable to claim a territory, build a nest or engage in other natural activities. Indeed, the cage is so small that hens are often unable even to flap their wings or stand fully erect.[1]”

Keeping all things aside he could manage to get back on track and write his exam and leaves the building, looks at his watch. Thirty past twelve. Being starved and thirsty he looks for nearby restaurant. After spending half an hour he could arrives at a restaurant and starts looking for the menu placed at the table. He opens the table and orders one chicken burger and two chicken stripes.

 

Now looking at story the first thought few can get is “He is a hypocrite, since he had all thoughts about chicken and still eats chicken and supports slaughtering.”

Few may think, slaughtering and torturing a living being is too cruel and veganism can solve all these.

Few may think he is too stupid to read things but fails to apply in reality, May be he is educated but not a practical person.

So all these thoughts you get is due to primary thought of human being that, for our every happening when associated with human we tend to judge the personal behavior of human rather than why he does it.

 

Forgetting about him, looking at the behavior, we have few discussions waiting here.

1. He is eating chicken also thinking about the behavioral science of hens. He should take a stand. This might be the primary thought of people. When I said this story to my friend his words were “Story seems bizarre and contradictive, he talked about lot of chicken and then he managed to order chicken”.

2. The next thought is “Hypocorism”. He talks about slaughtering of chicken also supports it by eating. If this is your thought, it’s common and your first prejudiced response, once you start asking why? You start search for the factual knowledge.

3. Cutting of primary thoughts from mind and start analyzing we tend to solve the scenario. On solving we may promote veganism, still it’s a big no because stopping the intake of chicken and meat can never stop this because considering him as human, looking back at human history, humans are omnivorous apes and had a hunter gatherer life style. The concept of seeds and pulses in take probably will have a significant change in ecosystem balance. The ecological cycle gets changed and this would not remain a solution for this.

So coming the title of story, the actual reason the boy managed to take the chicken is only by two chances either he knew the fact about ecological balance or he doesn’t know what he thinks and behaves. If he really want to knew the proof demands whether he aware of the fact or not. Also the story ends with his ordering the chicken. This is what happening in reality, we always see and create an oriented thoughts about a person or things happening. Even the person know all these facts will believe the boy might aware of the ecological fact and that’s why the story is incomplete by author and left for audience comprehension. But still the person knew the fact also don’t know whether the boy actually knew the stuff. Only way we could know is from the boy and the boy is not in reality to get the information. This is very common in historical fact, all the historical facts are created with what’s written and not what actually happened. The theory are easier to take shape but truth remains mystery.  

 

The things we hear, we see, we create are all of our oriented thoughts which we experienced or not experienced. Our primary response to any thing is simply not true and our analytic way leads to truth up to some extend. Truth can be defined if cent percent details associated with the happening provided unless it’s a mystery.
