The difference between information and truth … When we deceive our minds

     In the previous article about opinions; I talked about important matter, concerning the truth, and our information (the truth as we know it). And I mentioned that we know many wrong things, but we consider them like a truth. That happens for many different reasons.

    During the centuries of our humanity in this earth; the truth was a source of disturb and it made a lot of problems in the patterns of thinking for people.

   The physicist Galileo paid his life as a price for his scientific researches about the heliocentric. And many others too, only because they gave the truth where the people aren't so ready to get it, or they can’t understand it clearly because they don’t know all details about the matter. And when you don’t know about something if it exists or no, it doesn't mean necessarily that you know really the non-existence of it. So it’s possible that there is something but only you don’t know about it.

    This condition still always between people, just the difference is in the time, in the matter and its type, scientific, historic, politic, religious. ..etc. and  because it still always; that it means there are more details they don’t know them, else the people will change the opinion. I can give more examples here: in history we all know about the worse age which called idiomatically by “the dark ages”. In these ages the humanity was flopping in obscurities of ignorance, and conflicts about thrones and a lot of wars on this earth. Where the power and strength were the judge to resist and survive.

    This is main idea about these times in the history. But the truth which the world doesn’t know is : that in the same time of “dark ages” in Europe; they were the golden ages in the southern side of the world. The Muslim civilization was from Iberian Peninsula in the west (Spain now), to the Chinese-Indian confines (in the east). The north of Africa – for example – received a lot of scientific missions of students, to study in their institutions in different domains, and also the same in Damascus, Cairo in east.

    In the same ages; this civilization brought to the humanity many and many of inventions and facilities for life, lifestyles, in medicine, agriculture, mathematics, physics, chemistry, architecture arts, and human sciences, even in transportation ways (the first researches and tries of flying were in these ages before the wright brothers).

    In the same ages the mathematicians were thinking deeply and hard to find a solution for the calculating system, and they succeed to invent “the zero”, that brought a lot of solutions in the world, also the first true geographic map of the world, …. and hundreds of examples too.

    I read many different articles in newspapers and magazines, these articles are of professors and people are very cultivated and analysts too. But in my reading; I don’t agree with all their opinions and their thoughts, and I tell myself “ yes i agree with you in this idea, but I’ve another view”, then I read more and “ no I don’t agree with you here, I don’t see the same as you see exactly,..”…etc. So before getting any information and believe it; I put my filter on my mind and I start to analyse it too. Then I’ll decide if it’s certain like 1+1=2, or I need more details about that before decision.

    Before writing these words; I watched a scientific documentary confirms that the truth isn’t always the same as we know it or as we think it. Because – sometimes – we can deceive the minds with tricks and let the minds to believe this deception, because of the details aren’t all clear for all. And another angle can give us other information, right?

    Don’t believe all what you see or what you hear, you need always more details to separate between the information and the truth.
