We seem to associate good with positiveness and bad with
negativity but in the old and ancient languages it was totally the opposite.
For instance there is no such word as truth. The only
original word in truth is Oblivion.
(Forgetfulness, some would say concealment).
Truth is the negation of Lethe.
Same in Buddhism all good virtue is the negation of a poison,
unwholesome root
Opposite wholesome qualitiesThe three wholesome mental factors that are identified
as the opposites of the three poisons are:
alobha (non-attachment)
So there IS NO truth then! :)
