       The Truth of the world

       Have you ever wondered if what you see is, in fact, the truth? I
       mean, what you can do to prove that what you see is the same
       that I see?
       Too complicated? Let's use my little personal phrase: "Now,
       describe a spoon." as an example. A spoon, "the thing I use to
       dig food.", in a more complete way, "a metal(most of them)
       utensil(generally, silver-like) with a concave face and a
       handle, usually used to pick up food in a more sophisticated
       way(in comparison to eat with your hands that is...)". The spoon
       is, as we know, something like this:

       Perhaps your country use chopsticks, but even so you should know
       what a spoon is, right :P?
       Well, the image shows a spoon. However, the "spoon" I'm seeing
       doesn't need to be the same one as you are seeing. We just think
       it's a spoon because it's what people said us to believe, that
       this thing we're visualizing right now is the thing called a
       spoon.
       In a more generic way, think of a color. I pick "blue". Can you
       define "blue"? You know that something is "blue", but you can't
       say "This is blue because of this and that..."(I don't want
       scientific explanations for this, please :P). You learned that
       this thing is blue, because there are other things that are
       similar in a way(that we call "color") and this similarity,
       people told you to call it "blue".
       BUT perhaps "my blue" is different from "your blue". You can't
       define blue, and the "blue" that we know relates to the same
       thing, but you can't say for sure that we see the same blue.
       You know "blue", but if I could see "your blue", perhaps I could
       see "my red". It's not a mistake from me or from you, it's just
       that we see different things that for us are the same since we
       both learned that way. "My blue" is the truth, but "your blue"
       is also the truth. But then, I may ask you: Is there really
       something in the world we can call "Undeniable Truth"?
