What a big question to open with! I like how this story is open to any religion, or no religion at all. I like the juxtaposition of truth and God, which simultaneously answers the question and opens many more questions. It isn't clear to me if the evening open school is a name or adjectives. If it is a name intentionally left uncapitalized, I think that brings an interesting point in juxtaposition with the capitalization of Logic and God, for example. Very nice and thought-provoking!

Nice job with your story. It reads well in flowing prose. It tells a great story of a father trying to answer to the best of his ability the numerous questions of his son about truth. Well done!

I like how you show us this philosophical discussion between father and son. It reminds me of what Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, "What is truth?" as if he didn't believe it could be defined. But Jesus already told His disciples:
"I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life."

Daniel,
This is an interesting write and musings about truth...how to prove it, express it and define it
That's easy...it's Jesus and His every spoken word.
Super great writing here leaving your readers food for thought in an intellectually and spiritually starving world.
Kudos to you for offering some real manna.

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
I enjoyed how you laid out the setting of your story just by the words 'a village open evening school' and by your chosen illustration.
I enjoyed how the story was dialog only, emphasizing the important questions Daniel had for his father, Samuel.
I liked the question and answer format of the dialog.
What made me happiest as a reader were the particular questions and how you made them flow throughout the story: such as, definition of truth, Truth as expressed through theology, philosophy, logic but with no clear definition of truth from God.

Thought-provoking indeed. Point taken re note--repetition works to excellent effect herein--it emphasizes how one can go in circles contemplating unanswerable questions. Stunning ending.

I must admit was waiting for Truth is subjective. I did agree with some things, but in the end, the story seemed to be talking in circles with the point being: I don't know.
{"I'm sorry, there is no definition of truth from God," Samuel said.
"Sorry, my dear son, I don't know, but I think, God knows," Samuel answered, unhappily.}
I think these two sentences are in conflict.

Given the season, I had to think about Pontius Pilate's question to Jesus, 'What is truth?" Certainly a puzzling question. Perhaps God is really the only one who can answer.

-Very nice artwork and
a good story, Alcreator.
-It flows well, and I like
the dialogue between
Samuel and his son.
-His son is inquisitive and
wants to know all he can about truth.
-His father is honest in his
answers, explaining what he can.
-The ending is very good, too.

Alcreator:
I really appreciate this conversation between Daniel and his father, Samuel. I think you wrote about a situation that could occur between any child and his/her parent. There are many things no one seems to be able to define such that the masses will accept it. I believe truth is likely near the top of the list. Thanks for sharing.
