Actually it really doesn't matter. According to the patent filed in 1891 by Wheeler, the original inventor of perforated toilet paper, it should go over the roll waterfall style. But if that information would have never come up on the internet, everyone would still argue about what is the absolute truth behind the real way a toilet roll should be operated.
It's kind of funny because even though this is right, there are still going to be people who grew up thinking that under is still the right way to do it, that maybe even everyone believes it to be the right way. Perception and reality are two completely different ideals that sadly are thrown together in this day and age. With acceptance and tolerance running rampant as popular buzzwords, perception and relative truth has become the norm, and even the value people seek for in their lives. But what about Absolute Truth?
If you don't understand what is meant by this, think of this logic. 2+2=4 is a mathematical equation that is proven true by the known value of 2 and 4. Because addition means combining the separate values of 2 together, you end up with the equation being true through the laws of mathematics. No one would argue that 2+2 does not in fact equal 4, but the sad part is people ignore evidence simply because it does not fit with their perceptions. What if you had ignore the fact that the equation actually said 3+2+2=4 and simply wanted to make the equation true so your mind skipped over the first 3?
This is what happens in our current society. Truth is becoming subjective, or simply what we want for ourselves, whether it makes us comfortable, or easy, or simply it makes sense with our current perception. The argument for the toilet paper roll simply doesn't matter, but what about the things that do? Science that may present a different way of thinking, people with different ways of doing things or opinions, and even ways of life we never considered are all being ignored because the focus we have on keeping our perception is too narrow. Not only that, but the other side of opening up to every possibility, to every way of thinking and allowing it all to be good and dandy isn't the right way to go about it either. If we just started adding numbers to the equation aren't we just making it more complicated than it should be?
I am asking for two things. The first is the seeking of absolute truth. In everything you do in your life, seek what is true, what is just, what is moral. There cannot be multiple right answers, but discovering the right one takes time and understanding of all ways of thought, and isn't individualistic, it never will be. The other is to simplify the task. Don't accept everything as possible ways to find absolute truth. Discernment is needed. This is about making life focused on the important things, and living it in a way that makes it all worthwhile in the end.
