The Speaking and Showing of Truth….Post 5
Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free…. John 8:32
The movie , A Few Good Men stated “I want the truth, you can’t handle the truth”. But what is truth exactly? It seems to mean different things to different people, when in all actuality it should be seen one way and one way only, as what it is and has always been. Persecuted for the truth, I mean literally lives lost just for having done so. And why is this exactly? Conspiracy theories and secrets coming out from the shadows of both hidden and displayed agendas? Most people unfortunately seem to believe a lie faster than truth. Yes the truth may piss you off, yes it may bite, but I’d rather have this anytime before being lied to or deceived.
Do you know the way you can tell something is true especially when put out into the world? Is the immediate dismissal of it right afterwards, without even taking time to actually look into it first. A person ridiculed, facts dismissed or evidence erased, a life even taken because they said or showed something, this is how you know it was the truth. Not one person should ever lose their life just for speaking the truth. Or for building something for the good of all mankind, just to be disappeared afterwards.
Mark Twain Quotes on Truth:
“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”
“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
“Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.”
Truth means conformity to fact, reality, or actuality. It describes statements, beliefs, or ideas that correctly reflect the real world, free from falsehood or error. (Wikipedia)
I couldn’t agree more, now what each one of us chooses to do with the truth once discovered, is entirely up to us both individually and collectively. Now I could go on and on about this particular subject, but there is no need for that. Say or think what you will, but the truth will forever outlast any lie or falsehood. There is always freedom in truth, but before that can happen there has to be real acceptance of it first.

Truth terrifies because it has no lies to hide behind. 💡 Your words about persecution being proof of truth yes. And acceptance being the gateway to freedom. This matters, PM. This matters deeply. 🙏

Absolutely and I appreciate that very much, BIg Hug and much love 🙂
Wild. Can you believe it? I don’t think I’ll ever forget Jack Nicholson in that movie. That line is one we quote more often than you can believe, with a dash of humor for sure.
From where I sit at this time in life, I want to say truth is more often subjective than not. Every time I think I have a handle on truth in some matter, I can just as easily flip it and turn it around and find another so-called truth.
So when a government spouts their version of truth to us, I find it is best to be wary. Some people want assurance because they are terrified of life. But really, false assurance is not something that comforts me at all. 🙏
Thanks for reading and for your comment, well said and well stated 🙂
