Everyone has a truth. The way they see the world.

So what's "the truth?"

The thing that is important to you. The one thing you choose to do anything for. Nothing else matters.

There's nothing really universal about it then.

No, I don't think so. A person can believe something very strongly, as a child. Perhaps that fire will not burn, and then he hurts himself and learns.

We are always learning that our truths are wrong.

But the fire is something you can't change. You change, it's not the fire that changes.

But it is how a person sees it. For some people fire is not dangerous... The truth of it is different for everyone.

So you can never know anything for certain, except yourself?

Never for certain. You just choose to believe.

I think that's one of the most depressingly honest things I've heard in a long time. Good for you.

That is also just how you see it. [ Here he switches to Japanese. ] Any number of people can have any number of differing ideas. At the end of it all, it doesn't necessarily matter which one is "true". Whoever is the strongest decides and their will becomes the new "truth", impossible to ignore.

[ Dat philosophizing. ]

[ Also to Japanese: ] Yeah, I know what you're saying. I've experienced that firsthand a few times. I still think there's a "truth" for weak people too, and it can be different from a strong person's truth.

Different, perhaps. But it's meaningless unless it has some kind of force behind it. If you are killed or forgotten, your ideas don't matter. You need the strength to bring them to realization or to pass them to others.

That's pretty intense. I mean, like, seriously.

It is the conclusion I have come to recently.

I dunno if it's like, national outlook or anything, or if I'm just a really relaxed guy or what, but I gotta say I disagree. No offense or anything.

What you say about that does not bother me.

That is also part of your perception.

That's pretty big of you. Letting other people have their own opinions. I mean, tons of people don't wanna let that go.

I don't give a damn if someone disagrees with me, as long as it doesn't affect what I'm trying to accomplish. There's no reason to make it out to be more than that.

Okay, sure. Don't let me over-romanticize your ideals or anything.

You don't know anything about me. I don't think you'd have the ability to do that.

I know a little. [ Even look. ]

Ah. I suppose you saw a few things. I'd forgotten.

[ Curse seal, ew. The Olympics are way cooler. ]

Yeah, a few. [ Olympics were way cooler, sorry, Sasuke. ] I don't know enough to judge you though, so I shouldn't be doing that.

If you think that, then don't.
