What Is Truth?(Introduction)

Truth, in a loose definition, is defined loosely. Scholars cannot solidify an exact definition under the banner of truth and have instead divided it into smaller subcategories to digest. The reason that is hard to define is that truth is partially based on perception of reality, and every one's perception is different. One underlying factor of truth that cannot be disputed is the foundation it has in honesty and sincerity. This is a small clue into the mystery of locating truth, however the search is so exhaustive that it has taken the lives of many others. It's allure draws others to quest for it. A virtually impossible quest with no end or definitive answer.



It is not a fool's errand. Truth is important and essential to our freedoms and our standard of living. How can you know your freedoms if you are lied to about their preservation? How can you expect to be safe by being lied to? There is no safety or truth within the lie. Deception does not breed honesty or sincerity, it only harbors the environment of corruption. Do not turn a blind eye, it will strike you in the other while you are looking away. So instead of waiting for an a blatant assault on your rights, instead stand up and take preemptive strikes against injustice. There is injustice all around you, on the undercurrents of society. It lives on the underbelly of your community, no matter how clean-cut and gated it may be. It will rear it's ugly head up when exposed, like a vicious serpent.

Do what you can to expose the real truth. Not the liar's truth, not the half-truth, not the re-fabricated facts, not opinionated banter. The whole, honest, and unbiased truth in all it's ugly glory. The realism that makes you angry, the blatant reality that hurts your soul. The kind of truth that evokes emotion in even the most jaded individual. In this time of of false flag-waving and false patriotism, it is the true patriot that holds his government up to scrutiny when others will not. Demand more than what you are given, or you will get what you deserve.

The path to truth is different for us all. The end goal is what remains the same. We are made to feel as if we all different for venturing down different paths for the same goal. When we meet on the path toward the true reality, will you be walking next to me, or standing in my way?
