Freedom Through Infallibility

Since I have chosen to write my blog on the perception and variations of truth there is no topic more fun to write about in Crime and Punishment than the superman theory. I love talking about this topic because there really is no way to prove or disprove the existence of a superman seeing as the crowning of such a title is completely based on opinion. In my opinion any man who decrees himself a superman is automatically an underman, if a true superman were to exist then they would have to be deemed extraordinary by others in order to avoid a conceited mindset. I believe the 'truth' of the superman theory is that no such being can exist, except of course Mr. Spock, because society will not allow for it, one man's decision to live above the law and by his own set of morales automatically puts him into conflict with nearly everyone else. As evident in C&P, truth is subjective. Sonya's truth was once an absolute statement that there was no way Rodya could have killed someone, yet the reader knows a different version of the truth. As a matter of fact, one may argue that 'truth' and 'opionion' could be synonyms of each other as there is currently no existence of a universal truth. Nothing like a bit of hardcore philosophy after finals to get ready for winter break!
