The truth is an objective thing. Something that cannot be denied or opposed. It can mean anything from complex scientific data to just a child saying "this pen is blue". I have seen media which explored the idea of truth, and how despite the fact that nobody would ever say "I hate the truth. Lies is where it's at!", our minds still go into things which are not factual, but rather subjective and based on personal beliefs, views or faith, and present it as objective fact. Some would say that it is natural to do so. We believe in something, so we see it as the truth, and I can't disagree with it, but I sense that people take this too far.

You believe that someone's bad, and will do bad things, and doesn't? You better not change your mind! Keep insisting that they're an awful person

Did someone you dislike do a good deed? Be sure to insist that it's dishonest, that it's fake, or that you actually were always opposed to that.

Is someone you dislike accused of something? Well, you obviously have to declare that person's guilt, and stay unconvinced even when an objective proof of innocence is presented.

Does some scientist declare something that you don't like? Best shout them down, harass them, and force them to stop talking about those "facts". Oh and of course, after proving to the world that scientists can be forced to just say stuff that people WANT to hear instead of the truth, insist that anyone who doesn't listen to scientists is stupid...


We spend our time being exposed to people around us, our families and friends. With the internet we're able to pick whom we want. This way we might befriend very similar people viewpoints... and yes, I get why that's so very tempting, but I feel like it poisons our minds, because people devote themselves more to their own viewpoints, which they believe religiously.

People feel like it's very tiresome to be concerned with things being factual, because being factually correct means potentially being wrong. This is why people prefer to start out with a belief and just agree with what agrees with them, while denying anything that disagrees with them.

People would really love to live in a binary black and white world, with no moral grayness. They're smart and good people, while those who disagree are dumb and bad... but that is not reality. That is not the world that we live in. People who want to improve the world, have to look at the truth, and not a distorted version of it. If you want to see a better version of reality, you have to be able to admit that your vision of the world is just that: your personal vision based on your perspective, one not shared by all people.

Nobody is always right... and yet I feel like now more than ever people want to insist that they are, and ... as the saying goes "pride comes before a fall"
