Think about it. We Americans have become so conditioned by
the messages of marketing, politics, entertainment, spin, reputation management
and bad religion that we struggle to figure out what truth is and where to find
it.
From so many fronts, it’s advantageous to keep us dumb and
to force us to plow through piles of verbiage and detritus to uncover any
truth. In frustration we become couch potato thinkers. We buy into the
falsehoods dancing around the truth, falsehoods that cause us the least
discomfort.
But we are the final truth-o-meter of our own world. So we
have to fine tune our truth seeking with a reliable moral compass, a critical
mind and the courage to acknowledge truth when we see it.
