TRUTH...

It sometimes hurts. Painfully so. Even if you don't agree with it. Even if you don't understand it. And even if you think you need to suppress it...it finds a way to make itself known. That's the great thing about it. It cannot be controlled by us small minded dimbulbs. It seeps through the cracks. It won't go away. It shakes it's finger at us and reminds us of what really happened. It is relentless.

Thank goodness.

Isn't it great?

Well, isn't it?

And even if you think you need to suppress it...

^^^ This, rather sadly.
 

Hi,
 
I'm not sure that many of us are capable of good "truth" choices, when everything around us is about something else, not "us", and we really do not have a strong enough inner sense to know what "truth" is, except what we're told.
 
It's really hard, for example, to watch TV and hear that fake laugh track ... that really helps you learn truth for yourself! And the worst part? No one says anything about it, because the same companies own the newspapers and the media ... thus, you are "isolated" from helping yourself learn something, that we all should.
 
It's a social issue, that becomes an individual issue ... but I still don't know how the kid with no shoes, that sleeps on newspaper, in the slums of Rio or Mexico City, or Santiago, can ever learn anything about "truth" ... when they will never even know what the word "school" means!

The truth be told it's not easy for peoples to know an absolute truth because it's not the same for everyone.
 
 ...the truth for me is that a Strat style electric guitar is the best designed electric guitar made. I know that doesn't hold true for everyone.
 
Sure makes it hard to deal with those that believe theirs is the only truth. Unfortunately there are those all around us that enforce their beliefs and do so supporting the fact that the truth doesn't hold true for everyone.
 
My "truth" is the important "truth". It doesn't hurt when I learn that it has changed and does so usually by learning; by growing; by taste...yes, tomorrow I may decide that the Les Paul is the best designed electric guitar and really don't care what others think about me changing my "truth" or what their "truth" is. I'm sure not going to enforce it or kill someone over it although there are truths for me that I would. Protecting myself or my family from a life threatening situation comes to mind.
 
I also know that I'm sure glad I don't share the truths with a great many people.
 
 
 

What is TRUTH?

Ham N Egz
you can try to lock the truth

Indeed George.

My Truth is the new catch phrase.  Your truth doesn't make it true...that used to be called opinion.

Whatever you believe to be true, you are probably wrong, in part or in whole. Truth is where we stop when we've grown tired of thinking about something.
 
Or were too lazy to think about it to begin with and just accepted someone else's conclusion in the belief that they weren't as lazy as us.
 
Whether a billion people believe it or one person does, that has no bearing on whether something is true. Truth does not care what you think.
 
Of course, I could be making all this up.

I heart you more than usual right now.

Oh look, a somewhat sensible fred got hijacked by inanity. How unusual.

I'm pretty sure there is some TRUTH in that statement.

The truth has a sound and IT is the sound of an impersonal YOU.  BTW when did the smart people stop having the guns?
