Human folly - the fragile earth, my glass bottle

  Forlorn, feeling empty and finding it hard to focus, Along the banks of a lost river, that I remember, used to be. Tired, and teary, and in an urgent need for some water,  I came upon a bottle of some kind, transparent like glass  but made of some unbreakable substance and no opening that I could see at a glance neither a cork nor a twist top, what kind of bottle it was?

Where is truth?

Yes, where is truth? what's the truth and what is false, made up, or untrue, about something?  How can we know, how can we find out?  We can't unless we seek truth unless we ask, and listen, and see  (opposite to Gandhi's three monkeys). Yes, we can find truth  by seeking, what we know, what we believe in,  but also  By asking questions, By listening to what others say,  By looking at the other side too.  But we need to know that there is truth! It doesn't show itself, it doesn't impose on others, it keeps to itself! Yes, truth is absolute knowledge is relevant!
