The truth in itself cannot be hidden from.

So if pro-action is functionally a private consideration then the truth will inevitably out anyway.

That said, such activity does demand a private and reasonably intimate venue for a select audience.

And on the plus side, free and rewarding entertainment.

And in terms of base reality, "truth" is a very appropriate metaphor.

The idea that "truth is a metaphor" is confusing because it challenges the everyday assumption that facts are simple, absolute, and objective. At its core, it means our language and concepts only represent reality—they are not the exact, literal fabric of reality itself.

Wow, if we new the exact literal fabric of reality, I guess it would signify the imminent end of everything.

Well, reality is always an assumption, which is reality enough relative to any sensory device.

Can one teach an old dog new tricks?

That doesn't define what good means. You have only mentioned an antonym and an example without defining the term.

Hello SD, I had to backtrack there, it's been a while.

I was just saying that good is a word we use variously relative to perception, to define that which is not perceivably bad. 

So peanuts are nutritiously good, but they may induce anaphylaxis.


Though for sure, I'm well aware that thinking primate likes to go off on narrower  metaphysical tangents.

Interest can lead to both disinterest and obsession.

Again, whether a metaphysical tangent or not, the definition is still lacking as I am still left with the question "what is good?".

Okay so let's put it another way.

Good is variably relative to each individual thinking unit.

Though collective units tend to conform to a conditioned understanding.

Even so, separate collectives might have a somewhat different understanding.

So yes, "good" is an abstract thought construct perhaps only relative to Earth based thinking primates, and therefore, perhaps has no universal significance.

Nonetheless "what is lacking".

As far as I am aware, there is no such concept on Plant Ooob in the 15th Quadrabillion sector.

Personally I'm only aware of it on Planet Earth...Wherein good and bad are recognised opposites, but are applied varyingly relative to  circumstances and acquired social requirements and standards.

For example, in Pakistan some people find it good to sentence women to death for technological blasphemy...Others won't...And I expect that such variations exist in most multi-ethnic societies.

As such, there is no singular standard of goodness even here upon this miniscule speck of cosmic dust.

Ooobians have a similar physiology and  genetic make up but lack the stupid gene of humans.

And you communicate digitally with dogs.

Oobians are 50th generation hybrids and now naturally reproduce techno-genes.

You must have a camouflaged hide in the bushes somewhere, from which you enjoy watching backside circling and making sound recordings.

Do you not worry that a good god does not really allow such behaviour from it's devotees...Preferring the sneaking upon Jewish virgins from behind approach.

What was it in his list of instructions...Do not covet thy neighbours ass.

Though I think that Moses dropped the tablets in the Red Sea.

You need to take up scuba-diving instead of voyeurism.

Firstly roll over and try the submissive tactic.

Failing that, options are variable.

Perhaps, try the dog approach.

Followed by whipped cream.

Chocolate sauce, very optional.

Call it evil if you like, but I'm pretty sure that good god allows it.
