Truth?? What is it and Where is it??

Truth. What is it and how the heck do we find it! I have no idea is it in what we are taught here the Church? Is it in myself? Is it in my teachers or friends? Truth is so hard to find.  How does what Plato's saying about Truth relate to me... Well i personally have in the last few year had a really hard time with loving God and knowing that I am fully into my faith. When my dad got sick it was like my life was over and all the sad things that had happened before that just built up and I grew this hate for God and his so called truth. I couldn't understand how a man , my father, could have been so bad or done some thing that had been so wrong to get such a serious Sickness. Like the prisoners i was facing the wall and could turn around. chained my my own feelings and actions. I could see the light of my theology teachers and others trying to get me to turn back to the light and to my path a a christian. I am working on being that man that goes to the light and then comes back to give the message to others!

Immortality cool or just living too long?

Immortality is living for ever without dying. Okay now we all joke and say that we want to live forever but I'm not sure we really mean it. Just like In the Mortal Immortal we see a man that things he wants the world and to live forever but then realizes he is cursed. This reminds me of the idea that Golden touch is not a good thing either. In that story he loves gold and whats all that he touches to become gold but then he turns his daughter to gold and he realizes he just wants to love her. This is the same for our Immortal he drinks the potion to make him live forever. But with all choices issues follow and he is in a way cursed. He can never get close to people. He has to move around a lot. He also finds a woman he loves but can not grow old with her and has to leave he before people around get suspicious.I feel for him and his mistakes! BUT all and all through him i have learned that immortality is not the way to go i am scared of death but i also don't wanna live forever!
