Past, Present, Future = Truth

   How does the past, present and future lead us to the truth? Well, it simply depends on the truth. The truth hits us in many ways and forms, and people find it in multiple different situations. As a matter of fact, I would quite honestly venture to say that the truth leads to the past, present or future, because even though the truth lies in any of those three domains, we have to find it. The truth will not come to us, unless we seek it out from the past, in the present, or to the future. On that note, the past, present or future does not lead us to anything; they only influence the truth, kind of like an environment. All three bearers of the truth act as a home for the truth to live. They all carry potential for anything, and those happenings could always impact the truth in several ways, depending on whether or not good or bad gets a grip on it.
   When in the past, the truth will change our lives at small or large-- it relies on the type of truth. Since the person could not find it in time, the truth sat back and stopped following its owner, so to speak. When the person reunites with the truth, the result cannot be changed. The present either affects the person internally or externally. A truth affects someone internally by portraying a secret, or one's state of mind. Externally, the uncontrollable situations like weather or society could affect people. I would also like to point out that society doesn't always tell the truth-- its presence and effects do, though. The future truth confuses everyone, because nobody experienced it, yet. However, I have observed the future reflects the past, and oftentimes, we find the truth in the future based on our prior knowledge. If someone sports a fiery demeanor whenever provoked, we can infer the someone will express the fiery demeanor we know and love the next time they get agitated.
   As I said before, we do not find the truth in one piece, nor does it just miraculously look the same for us every time. In other words, the truth conducts a lot of reactions. What ridiculousness if we reacted to all news the same way. In Oedipus Rex, King Laius heard the prophecy about Oedipus, his son, killing him and marrying his wife, and he became furious and wanted his son killed. Would he want  Oedipus killed if he found out about a simple lie about him stealing candy, or about him agreeing with his choice to go take a walk in the town? Probably not. The truth does not always cook up the same outcome-- its recipes vary in flavor, and we may or may not like the taste of the truth.
   So, the truth in a way leads us to our past, present and future, based on the outcome of the news. Because the truth may live in three different environments, the probability of reactions, life, or even finding the truth itself proves unpredictable and inevitable. I find it awkward how confrontational the truth looks in this suit, though. On a lighter note, the truth should not represent a monster. It only aids, prevents and confronts all tenses. It deep down inside wants to protect you, and set you free of any deception or bondage you end up in.

  3. First of all awesome job on the length of this post! In the 3rd paragraph I like how you repeat yourself because to me I know that you want to make something clear towards your audience which you always want to but that is just a bonus for me in this case. As a sophomore you should know by now to make clear thoughts in your writing and that is exactly what you did. The length of this post is wow because most people complete their posts in like two paragraphs like I do sometimes but I can tell you put some thought into this prompt.
