Also there is a great need to distinguish between information and propaganda.
ReplyDeleteParticularly we need to be aware of the follwoing "line of work":
"See in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." (George Bush)
Indeed: our souls/minds/hearts needs the ability to distinguish information from propaganda, but I don't think truths should be repetitious in that regard: to instill and dilute another's worth; truths should be shown through differentiating examples and viewpoints; truths should not mirror their brainwashing/conditioning counterparts, and be different in context and degree each time it's presented: this is to give an accurate representation that others can use to formulate their own thoughts and opinions upon; this is the way truths should be shown: with light instead of darkness, with ofference instead of forced regurgitation; truths should adhere to their own guiding principles and morality, and be subjected to its rules and testaments, without digressing away from such values; this is what truth means to me.
DeleteI loved both the quote and your explanation of truth.
DeleteThank!
