《Collection of Short Stories?》[Perception]
Advertisement
When looking at a sculpture you must walk around it viewing it at different angles to be able to see the work of art in its entirety. Truth just like the sculpture has different interpretations depending on how it is being perceived and who it is being perceived by. And all these different interpretations of truth cannot be defined by a flat overarching statement just like how a sculpture cannot be depicted by a single photo. When trying to make an overarching statement you might get something paradoxical, contradictory, or both. For example, a good person follows the law, a good person breaks the law. This statement tries to pull together two different contexts that individually make each statement true, but creates something contradictory in the end. A sculpture by nature is three dimensional making it impossible to be fully viewed in something two dimensional like a photo without heavily distorting the sculpture. Truth is also multidimensional and cannot be fully defined through just one point of view without heavily distorting its original meaning or completely changing the meaning itself. Truth is not meant to be viewed all at one, but to be taken in piecemeal.
When writing this I understand that in trying to define a truth about perception I am also trying to make a complete statement about truth, but that statement is definitely incomplete.

The White Dragon
It is the year 472 and the Roman empire is still strong in an alternative Earth where magic exists. The Roman authorities hate and suppress the use of magic, which by its nature is wild and uncontrollable. Unknown to the empress and her brother, rulers of the mighty empire, they have an enemy, one that is inexorable; destructive; remorseless; a conduit for elemental forces. By driving magic away, the Romans did not make it weaker, only wilder and darker. And now the White Dragon is back, the empire is at her mercy. From a remote village in north Wales comes Arthyr, a beautiful young man of nineteen, who is the antithesis of Roman values. Yet the empress and her officers need his power over magic to assist their armies and face the White Dragon. Sent to train in Roman boot camp, Arthyr is the most difficult, insubordinate recruit the Roman sergeant-majors have ever had to deal with.
