"Truth is a relative term" "The truth will set you free," and "The truth is the truth," are just some of the trite expressions used to talk and sometimes, minimize, the actual look at truth. Truth is not a relative term, it is black and white, and there is not any gray in truth. Whether it is perverted, twisted, or whatever other great calamity a person may attribute, to the variations of truth, is nothing more than a joke. However, there is an obvious set of reasons to pervert truth, but there is one main intangible for all the "truth twisters" and/or those who believe and are tearing down the fabric of the world, with a multi-faceted truth, mantra. It is to fit their lives, short comings, or lack of intelligence. It is that simple, period.
As kids we are taught to not stare/make comments about the person in the wheel chair, with comments from parents, such as, "do not stare at them, you should feel sorry for them," or if there was something said (by the child/kid) the general comment is, "you should not speak about them, as they are in need" (or they are to be pitied, or sympathized with). At the earliest of ages, the truth turns from "embrace the person in the wheel chair, smile, or even make a comment of I am sorry," as the parent should do. However, there is where the "gray" in truth and confusion for kids steps in. Do I say I anything? Should I just look away (which may cause the person in the wheel chair, fat person in the mart cart at a grocery store, or anyone who is different by color, creed, or affiliation)?
There is no judgment in my words, only the truth. There are many ways to parent, to be a friend, or a mate, but there is only one truth. When approached by the less fortunate, a little bit of something on someone's shirt, or any situation at all, there is still only two ways to handle it. You can be rude, or maybe tactful in telling the person what you need to say (like, "you may want to brush your shirt off), or just do not SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. Anything else, whether spoken, gestured, or proselytized to another person, is not the truth, it is something else in which a person does, to make themselves feel better, cut thru an awkward situation, or sometimes it's for selfish and shameful purpose. However, truth does not lie, there is no boundary to truth, and it is only how to handle the truth. You may think you are correct, but the truth in the situation (you are correct in) may be in complete contrast to the truth. Which begs to ask, are you actually living a truthful life, truthful act, or are you just living how you think things should be. Making your life resides in a one sided affair of situation to situation, where the decisions and words out of your holes are just for you and what you want, best suits you, or benefits you? Only you and God know, but there is still only one truth, one black and white way to institute life, and one way to live (if a person so chooses).
Life, in today's world, is so full of hate, bad decisions (based on self, not truth) and conflict on the world stage to the mom and child, there has to be a longer and steadfast look at what you think truth is, how it fits in your life, and then (and only then) will "truth" lead your life, rather than living your life, just for you. No matter what the cost, or consequence.
