Al Mualim:What is the truth?

Altair:We place faith in ourselves. We see the world the way it really is. And hope that all mankind would see the same.

Al Mualim:What is the world then?

Altair:An illusion; one which either we can submit to, as most do, or transcend.

Al Mualim:What is it to transcend?

Altair:To recognize nothing is true and everything is permitted; that laws arise not from divinity but reason.I understand now that our creed does not command us to be free. It commands us to be wise.

This isn't about life in itself,even though you can interpret it that way.Before moving on to the other interpretation:"Nothing is true"means that the"truth",is constantly changing,as it is something of relative nature,and changes throughout perception."Everything is permitted"means our actions aren't and shouldn't be limited.However the second interpretation deals with the manipulating aspect of religion(today's politics).Do not believe what is said to you blindly,and do not act in fear of it.

Probably the most truly (how ironic) words I have ever heard. This discussion confrims that. Over 30 and more interprations of one phrase. Find your own truth in that. Because nothing is true. Practically, I would say, no matter how you interprate this, it's always true. But remember, this comment is complete lie.

Should be a movie.

@AMICHIO Huh?...

@DonRMB Forgive me for sounding like an arrogant cunt but you sound like a simpleton when you mentioned it's like The Matrix. Anything but my friend this ain't Kantian thinking. If anything it's more in line with the views of the thinker Friedreich Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky. The philosophy is saying we shouldn't accept perceptions that are taken to be set in a stone. It is fabricated, perceptions create a false sense of the world i.e we accept morals, laws as truth, when it's false.

@DonRMB You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
