Truth Is Objective So Don’t Give Me No Lies
We’re living in an age of 2+2=5. Or at least many people would like to think so. And they just might throw a fit if you point out that they’re wrong. But 2+2=4, and it always will. Because truth is objective.
That said, how is it that so many people live in a world of nonsense and lies these days? And why is it that confronting them with the truth causes them to come unhinged and melt down? How is it that we’ve gotten to a point where people are not only allowed to interpret reality any way they want, but they’re actually rewarded for it like good little pets? As long their interpretation meets approval of course.
If you haven’t noticed, up has become down and down has become up in a staggering number of ways. And the madness is thoroughly institutionalized. My point for writing this post isn’t to talk about specific lies people are indulging in today. My reason for undertaking this blog project was to sort out my thoughts. To find direction through writing and perhaps put some actionable advice and food for thought out into the world. To focus on people getting stronger regardless of personal beliefs, and not to talk too much about politics and culture.
But in the spirit of being our best, I still think it’s worth pointing out that people all around us are indeed indulging in complete and utter lies. Because this is the opposite of becoming one’s best. That’s why I bring it up. And a huge number of seemingly normal people don’t seem phased by it, even if they don’t fully participate. If you’re wondering what the hell I’m talking about you may be one of them.
But for those who know what I’m talking about, it’s evident everywhere. Clear signs that people are being led astray from the truth. Certain objective realities have become clouded to the point that people live in complete and utter denial that they exist. Despite being able to see them with their own eyes should they want to. Or even worse, they’ve been weaponized by any means necessary to hide the fact that truth is objective.
For anyone looking to sharpen their proverbial blade, what better place to start than rejecting lies and embracing the truth? Even if it means taking some heat. In fact, that might hone one’s edge even further.
The Sky Is Blue
These days, people are told “speak your truth”. By celebrities, by politicians, by professors. As if everyone can have their own truth. One person can believe the sky is blue, another can believe it’s red, and yet another yellow.
Any sane person knows these three beliefs can’t all be true. Truth is objective, and the sky is only one color.
If I decide that “my truth” is a world without gravity, will I just float away? Of course not, but I might still form an angry mob to attack anyone who rightly and logically claims it isn’t possible.
What if I want to eat donuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner and also be muscular, healthy, and free from sickness? After all, it’s my truth so I “feel” it should be possible. Tough shit…
In a world of cause and effect, an ability to see the objective truth is strength. Because it keeps one focused on causes that bring positive effects.
The Danger Of Indulging In Lies
On the flip side, indulging in lies is problematic in numerous ways. On both micro and macro levels.
For individuals, denial of the truth is often denial of the aforementioned cause and effect in one’s life. It should be obvious how this is a problem. A person takes no responsibility for their health and diet and wonders how they end up fat and diabetic. Somebody decides to play video games morning, noon, and night, and can’t figure out why they never seem to go on any dates.
From a larger scale perspective, a growing denial of the truth can lead to widespread manipulation by the powers that be. A person who will believe one lie will believe others. A million people who believe a lie will believe others as well. And on it goes. There is also a potential for conflict when enough people believe insidious lies. Because truth is obvious to those paying attention. And truth, as well as truth seekers, will ultimately push back the more the lies and liars try to assert themselves and twist reality. From what I can see, the truth tellers are a much stronger and smarter lot as well.
The Good News For Truth Seekers
The ranks of truth tellers is growing it seems. People who are tired of the insanity being shoved down their throats. People who want to know how things really are and really work. Who refuse to accept sickness, weakness, degeneracy, and downright lunacy as facts of life and use every day as a chance to shed them all.
There may seem to be some pitfalls facing truth tellers these days. Telling the truth can be a dangerous act when so many have been programmed to lash out against it.
But there is also a bright side. Telling the truth is a heroic act. And it isn’t terribly hard to differentiate oneself from the herd these days – just tell it like it is and don’t back down.
In the pursuit of personal strength, the truth is an excellent foundation. Because the truth is not open to interpretation and will always guide one down the correct path.
