One can't help but notice that as we become a more civilized race, truth is gathering more hate than ever. It makes you wonder if we truly are civilized. Truth, is now what people see as a necessary "evil" because while it is necessary, those whom it affects adversely view it through a lense of arrogance and egotism, therefore it is evil to them. I am beginning to wonder that the resistant to truth, just like love and kindness, is embedded deep in the human nature but when we come to look at it closely, we see that the psyche is the only resistance to the truth, not the human soul.

What causes resistance to truth?

The number one thing I can think of is the human ego. The ego is false so it wouldn't be incorrect if we say that it repels what is real, the truth. Attitudes like selfishness, pride, arrogance, hatred all have roots in the ultimate lie many of us have chose to embrace, the ego. When this form takes deep roots in the soul of a human, it seeks to destroy all that opposes it, even if it knows very well that behind all it shows outside, it is weak and false. The truth is a big threat to it and when it discovers this, it seeks to either stop the truth from spreading and developing or it seeks destroys it altogether, despite knowing that just like energy, the truth cannot be created nor destroyed, even when it appears to be destroyed, it always rises from the ashes to prevail, because that's what the truth always does and since the ego is a big lie to the extent that it lies to itself and makes itself believe it, it thinks that it can destroy the truth.

Truth is resisted when there's something to hide.

The openness, "trueness" and purity of truth makes it unnecessary for it to be hidden, and it always seeks to expose that which is hidden. The phrase "the truth is bitter" is something I don't agree with in its entirety. Truth is the sweetest thing on earth. Lies that pretend to be sweet are what gets bitter when the trueness of the truth exposes it, only there and then does it reveal its true nature. Wherever there's something to hide, there's a lie somewhere. Literally when you lie to someone you're hiding the truth. To prevent the truth from coming out you add more lies to further hide it. The more depths there's to the where the truth is being buried, the more the lie, to be more accurate many lies are needed to hide one truth and still the truth hardly stays hidden forever. It always prevails over falsehood. They're no match for the truth.

As pure as snow:

If the lie comes alone, without putting on garments of false truths, even the dumbest of people wouldn't believe it, that's because it relies hugely on the truth to make it look more presentable...and more impure. Lies have no legs to stand on. You hear stories in the media that appear true at first because there truly are elements of truths within them to make them look more appealing to the viewers who mostly have little knowledge of the truth beforehand. Since it appeals to the prior knowledge of the truth they have they believe it sometimes without questioning.

Don't you think if a lie were to come standing on its own legs it then ceases to be a lie but a truth? It's like reading a bunch of lies and in the last paragraph they make it clear to you that all you just read is a lie... isn't that truth?

Thanks for reading.
