Articles on truth is lived not taught
Answers
Answer:
Truth can be taught, and it can be lived. The importance holds on how the truth is accepted whole-heartedly – when taught or lived? It is a human tendency to accept the things better when we perceive them with our own senses. Any learnt matter can be forgotten, but the things that have occurred in our life cannot be wiped of all that easily.
Truth when lived can have its ever-lasting influence. A child can be taught alphabets and rhymes. The alphabets remain in their mind forever as they use it regularly, but it is never the same with the rhymes. Though a child requires to be taught everything, but they absorb the things only when they start living with them.
A taught thing remains a non-living stuff. The learnt bit gains its life when that is lived in actual form. We can understand better when we undergo the circumstances and perceive the matters ourselves. If the matter/happening is true or false, it is better understood when lived. We can teach that the fire is hot, but the child cannot be taught what is hot. Any qualitative term needs to be lived to be understood, so is the truth.
