imagined communities have become more important to most-through technology. the value in actual community has been lost. technology has created a paradox. not only has it created a way to communicate easier, but it has also taken the social & communal factor out of the equation. it is now a numbers game. apathy is the new kid on the block.

truth is seperate from the action percieved and only relevent to the PERCEPTION of the act.
a definition is the perfect example. a definition describes an idea. the IDEA, on the other hand, describes an action. regardless of whether something is, a definition exists. making it a truth. those truths can be overrided after time. although the perception of the act may change, the act does not. the only thing we can say for certain, the only truth, is that we DO percieve said action in said way. THAT is the truth.
a definition describes an idea, not an action. this is why it can change. acts can be percieved differently, therefore different ideas can be conceptualized, leading to debate on which idea is better. the idea that is better is then defined and replaces the old definition that described the old idea. real does not exist. only not real. and that is where truth is found. what is "real" can never be percieved, so cannot be truth.
