On Truth

TRUTH is not a static thing. It’s like a fish in the water. Like a bird in the air. We see it, but we cannot get it. It’s like the wind. We feel it, but we cannot grasp it.

However you represent it, TRUTH seems to irremediably fade away from our moral landscape.

Now, my friends, imagine a world without TRUTH, where everybody must lie to survive. No. It’s not sci-fiction. If we’ve learned how to read history, we’d see that it contains plenty of examples that nowadays should shame us but don’t. And it may be happening once again. So, what do we do? As a response mechanism, we’ve conditioned ourselves to be politically correct, avoiding TRUTH to make ourselves in tune with the mainstream, sacrificing our individuality and character, and, in doing so, divesting ourselves from our freedom. How did we reach this stage?

If we didn’t have to look for clues to survive, we would be telling the TRUTH all the time, inevitably.

Consider this: If TRUTH were a person, it would never bathe, wear makeup, or change clothes. In fact, if TRUTH were a person, it would always present itself NAKED, naturally smelling a pungent, sometimes offensive odor. Of course, people wouldn’t look at this NAKED person, and definitively not directly in its eyes, but instead, they would look the other way while covering their children’s eyes and ears.

But even if it’s not a person, isn’t this what we do when confronting the NAKED TRUTH?

What do you think? Please, tell me the TRUTH.
