This time around, not pic!
It’s always challenging to communicate in an era of mass disinformation. Among many delusional journalists, spare exceptions, yet strong and lucid, convey convincing points that deserve (at least for now) the label of “Truth” . Because of that, they are under systematic attack.
Most of us are clueless of what is really going on. A ‘big news’ is often divulged to hide a huge one. Generally, the public is content with what is going on. That is, in many respects, the reason for many frustrations. A distraction represents a stronger attraction than a truth. People want to keep their minds busy (distracted), not involved (attracted). They want their mind to bounce off of something, not to be conveyed into concepts.
Just a few are really embracing the path of discovery. Many, too many, are just happy with the status quo. “What’s behind it?”... “What are they trying to hide?”...”What could be the real reason that prompted what they are saying?”... These are ‘outdated’ questions. I tell my mom: “Until it’s verified by YOU, don’t believe it”. In most cases, it’s impossible to verify anything. Therefore, don’t believe it!
The discovery of the truth implies a great deal of complex work. At times, it’s a threatening and even intimidating work. The process of discovery has another undeniable implication: it finds you alone. As one works his/her way into the path of truth, one inevitably runs into aha moments from which, in most cases, the untrained mind shies away. Those who didn’t give up are always "crazy”.
It costs time and emotional involvement to discover the truth, it isn’t just a scientific endeavor. Lies have been taught to us since the day we were born. And they were taught to our parents from the day they were born. Lies have then been reshaped and blended into beliefs. And, from beliefs, they’ve been crystallized into dogmas. And dogmas have then substantiated and validated by everyone, even by ourselves. That says a lot about how ‘cheapened’ our self-esteem is. In regards to ‘small talks’ and fibs we are judgmental. When it comes to universal lies, we are compliant.
I don’t know the truth. But I'll fearlessly struggle to discover it.
