shouldn't truth contain, or be a part of, or related to, non-truth?
My real question is, "Is philosophy nothing more than a dance of, 'If...then' statements? Is philosophy meant to find the answers to questions, or create more of them? If this is true, then why even bother asking in the first place? I'm wondering about the eventuality of questions and answers; where does it lead us?

TK - you are right, but i'm wondering about the end of it all - back to the keyboard yes - a dance, yes - but, is there a place where where questions, and truth, become irrelevant?

i know that all answers are contained within the question - but i'm looking for a place where there are no questions

i believe it may have started out as the path to find answers through questions.... but became only more questions... surely SOME people have found answers, but i sadly am not one of them.... or it may have been a question-asker's clever ploy to do nothing but ask question after question!!!

what each person takes from philosophy is his own experience, What he contributes adds to the 'pool' that is philosophy in general. this pool is bound to grow in accordance with human nature, that is, man will continuously refine what another has accomplished. The limit is endless because truth is never known in fullness, only each person perceives a face of it. So yes it's an endless dance, but to the individual it's a road as well.

Questions and answers may open the mind and make it more flexible or lead to (greater) self-knowledge, but I doubt if they lead to objective truth. We cannot be sure if objective truth exists. It's as if we're playing pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, but nobody ever removes the blindfold; there may be no donkey at all. Those who claim to know the truth are a bit dizzy. All we can do is discover inner truths and learn to articulate them.

Philosophy ..deals with one's understanding of what is happening in one's mind. To deal with or even ask questions.Philosophy gives us chance to really answer on our own questions whether the other person doesnt agree or does agree. It leads us to our own conclusion. If you like your life.. you like your question and can live with the answer you and you alone have to deal with the outcome.Life doesnt come with a set of rules. Only you and you alone can make the rules to your set life.

there is nothing better to revealing the truht of existance but philosophy. no facts can be reveal but only words that show the world what beeing a person relay is. ask to get an answer and lear. learn so that you will know and sometimes even share your knowlege to the world so that the world too can know and understand. why esle?

Yes,
Truth should.
Why do you ask?
Yes, it is.
Both.
Lots of individual reasons, like your own for example.
It leads us right back to the keyboard.

truth exists! but we humans will never get a full, clear picture of truth, because we can only observe "truth" through one of our senses.
but it will never be pure absolute truth, because those senses act on us like filters.
so in essence, truth does not exist for humans.
but on a universal level, truth does exist.

The truth is that it is the truth that we seek.
It is the ultimate truth that we seek.
What that is, is why we seek it.
When we find it life will have been fulfilled.
