Carson and I have this on going fact, truth, meaning debate. Last night we watched Big Fish (2003) which brought this right up to the surface. In the film the point isn't whether the stories are factual or not (though Carson and the son spent the whole time doing this very thing), the point is the way lives are given meaning by the way we tell the stories. In that these are the stories that tell of something important in the life of a man, they are true. It's a nice bonus (for me) that they had some grounding in fact.
In this debate, discussion, argument, discourse, language is becoming more and more an issue. Finding different words to use so as not to confuse the other is quiet difficult. But we muddle through. It's all we can do.
