How does the past, present, and future lead us to the truth?

I have considered how the past, present, and future lead us to the truth and what I have concluded is that the past, present and future does not lead us to the truth. What leads us to the truth is question and curiosity. The past, present, and future are merely when the events occur and not how or why it occurs. If there was a lie that nobody questioned, it would still be considered a "truth". I would have an example but it would have to be an example of something only I know and that would be called wrong because it's not what everyone else thinks. The question asks how a period of time shows a fact which is strange because time is just a number. The only way time reveals truths is when it is provoked to do so by oh right curiosity. If it was not for fact checking and skepticism, people would believe anything that anyone with a fancy suit tells them. Seriously, if everyone was that gullible do you realize how often The Onion would be cited? The past is when it happens, the present is questioning why it is the way it is and the future is getting the truth. Classified information and documents aren't just released because the government is too lazy to keep them classified but I don’t know, the government is not doing too great of a job to begin with and it would not surprise me if a couple things slipped through the cracks. You know what else the past, present or future did not reveal? Those celebrity nudes. Then again I do not think that they would be considered truths. More of like a strange invasion of privacy. You know what else does not like the whole time reveals everything thing? Movies. Imagine how terrible that would be. Usually the hero has to fight monsters or something to figure things out. Would you want to watch a movie about well about a character that knows everything? Waiting for time to solve your problems is like opening a book and hoping that it will read itself to you. I'm sorry to say technology hasn't gotten there yet. The best we have so far are talking birthday cards and audio books which lets face it just aren't the same as regular books. Honestly, I was done with this answer like a hundred words ago. This is just me killing words. This is a commentary right? This is how the whole commetary-ing works? Whatever. I didn’t have much to say on this topic anyways. You know the more you question, the more you learn. It's funny because schools are a place for learning that just so happens to hate the questioning of their methods. Same thing with the government. For something created "by the people, for the people", the people seem to be on the short end of the stick. Last time I sat around and waited for time to tell the truth all I got was bored and hungry. Lessons learned: bring snacks and never trust time when it comes to the truth because a good doctor once said "it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff."

Oedipus Rex

Oedipus sounds like a real pain in the butt right from the beginning. Why not just shut up about his problems? He's the king. What does he have to really worry about? Oh, wait the whole murder your father sleep with your mother thing seems like something to be worried about but right he DOESN’T KNOW THAT. Pity's not going to make the kids feel better by the way. Okay so like how can this guy not remember killing someone?  I mean like he was a dude who was a king with a bunch of guards and you can't remember him? You know I really feel like Oedipus' solution to everything is to kill them. It might be a lie? Kill them. Think they are plotting against you? Kill them. Dad blocking your way and tried to chop off your head? Kill him. Oh right his "dad" died of old age. That took a long time to put two and two together especially for a king. You killed a person. The king was killed. The king disappeared, you showed up. I would like to think that a 5 year old could put that together and figure out that it was him. He could solve the Sphinx's riddle and save a whole kingdom but can't even put something that simple together.  You know reading these types of books and stuff  are the most frustrating thing in the world. You know everything about the place and people but the characters don’t and it makes them seem so stupid you want to just yell at the characters to quit being so dumb because splitting up and looking for clues will get you killed and then you remember that you are yelling at a book and it makes you feel stupid because hey I just yelled at someone trapped in a dead tree. The person isn't even real. This is a very frustrating play. It's more frustrating than a framed picture of the leaning tower of Pisa to a person with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Oh great now he's torturing old people. What a wonderful person. I should totally feel sorry for him for not being able to change his fate. If you weren't away that was meant to have been completely sarcastic. So he has to leave?? Alright so let's summarize. He goes to some place and sees kids and talks about the plague. Then the messenger comes and delivers the news and he needs to make sure so he asks someone else and when he doesn’t get the answer he wants he threatens to kill the guy. Then he goes to his wife and mom and they talk about it and the messenger and shepherd are brought to him to be questioned and he threatens both of them and he gets his answer and they make him go away? Is that it? Or just a prologue? That was a pretty bad story. I didn't like it. Not enough action. Where's the hero? Every good story needs a hero.
