Truth

How do we know truth? Every day we make decisions. Dozens of people directing us to do this or that. Asking us to believe in their truth and make it ours. Join their political party and think as they do, so we will be safe. How do we sort through this mass of information and choose the real truth? How do we know who is speaking truth and who isn’t?

The good news is, we all come into life with a built-in truth detector. Some call it a moral conscious, or a gut feeling. The bad news is, we don’t always follow what we know to be truth.

Here are a few things that guide me: (1) Looking beyond the “discourse” into the reality behind it. A “What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you say” type of assessment. (2) Knowing that truth is open and free to all. No party or organization has any “secret” truth. (3) Truth can be understood by all. It is never so complicated that only a few can know. (4) Truth is always at hand. You don’t need to go somewhere “special” to find it. And (5) truth will stand up to all questions and remain truth. There is nothing so “sacred” about truth that it can’t be questioned.

Those who say: “I believe she was assaulted, But …” are not telling truth. They either don’t believe her or not willing to stand for the truth.

Political Reminder in Tense Times

If a “true believer” stared eye to eye with a “true skeptic” They would be looking into a mirror. They are exactly the same person. Each are, black and white, all or nothing, individuals. The beliefs they hold are true, and all other beliefs are false. No amount of evidence, logic, or persuasion will shake the true believer, or the true skeptic from their stance. They only know they are right.

We have a “Constitution” in this country that politicians have sworn to uphold and follow in making decisions. This instrument is not a “guide line” it’s a document of political behavior. It is the source of American democracy. Do the right thing now, and forever.

Life?

Life can be hard
For those who fight
To conquer.
Much improved for those
Who endeavor to be
Empathetic.
