However, by no means does this mean that the truths apply to what the symbols actually represent. Truth can be found in a symbolic universe, but not in the actual universe. In our modern society we often confuse the symbols for the real thing. In fact, we so much desire simplicity over complexity that we become obsessed with the symbols to the point that we completely lose connection to what the symbols actually represent. A perfect example of this is the way our society worships money.
Money is nothing more than a symbol with little value in and of itself.
Furthermore, truth is always a matter of perspective. In this positivist society, humans base truth on empirical evidence. But by definition, empiricism is based on observation which is always subject to perspective. Every living being has a unique perspective, a unique world. For example, what may appear like a stagnant field of weeds and shrubs to the human, may appear like a metropolis of activity to the circling hawk.
