Samson was scheduled to do this week’s blog but he is up to his eyeballs in moving and getting settled. So, this is kind of an intermission. The intermission is a trailer for the award winning documentary Food, Inc. This comes with a warning. If you can’t stand the truth or you are not ready for the truth then do not watch this. “You will never look at your dinner in the same way again.”
I wondered about the old adage, “The truth hurts” and asked myself what does that mean? How can the truth be a bad thing? I pretty much decided that facts are about as close to the truth as you are going to get. Or perhaps the certainty of numbers are very close to an indisputable truth. I mean 1+1 for all intent and purposes is always going to = 2. So, who is hurt by the truth? I think honest persons can not be hurt by the truth.
Tell an honest person the truth and they will appreciate knowing it. However, tell a person who knows the truth and covers it up with an intent to deceive and you have someone who would be exposed for lying about the truth and that would hurt.
What is the truth? The truth is. What is a lie? A lie is a cover-up of the truth. The truth be told would expose a lie. So, only a liar could be hurt by the truth. And if that is the case then the old adage should really say, “The truth only hurts liars and that’s a good thing.”
I don’t have any idea of where all that came from. All I know is, that is what you get when someone says, We need something up and we need it up quick. So there’s quick.
Watch the trailer and tell me who you think is telling the truth and who you think is lying? And why.
