Zone1 True or false, the truth is sometimes offensive.

[Votto]

Is the biggest obstacle to truth the fact that we are too often offended by it?

“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”​

[Darkwind]

Not always, but yeah. I can see that as true.

Democrats invent their own 'truths' to avoid having to acknowledge or accept the facts that contradict their 'truths.'

The truth might not be what you WANT to hear, but it's something you NEED to hear.

People who are "offended" by the truth, have no use for the truth....because they are literal slaves to evil, deception, lies, and coersion for the corrupt criminals of our society.

Do we need protected from the truth?

Is it our friend or foe?

Political correctness is predicated on the notion that the truth is not always our friend, so it must be sidestepped or ignored at times or even lied about.

I was raised by a psychopathic liar. She called herself "mother".

I learned the HARD WAY, growing up, NOT to be like her. I lost a LOT of good friends because I found myself doing what she did.
Being a self righteous, narcissistic liar.

I spent most of the 80s fighting those demons to get away from becoming the POS she was (she's dead now).

It was hell going through the processes of de-demonizing myself from her psychotically evil ways. And I don't ever want to be in any position where I have to go thru that again...........so I watch......VERY CAREFULLY........who I associate myself with.

Thats how bad and evil "political correctness" is and they psychotic damage it's done to this nation.

Socrates seemed to believe that if a man lived a public life and spoke the truth while in the public light, he would not be long for this world as men would seek to silence the one that spoke truth on a consistent basis.

If I had engaged in politics, I should have perished long ago and done no good to either you or to myself.... for the truth is that no man who goes to war with you or any other multitude, honestly struggling against the commission of unrighteouosness and wrong in the State, will save his life; he who will really fight for right, if he would live even for a little while, must have a private station and not a public one.

And yes, the Greeks ended up killing him too.

The truth is not always the easy path, in fact, most of the time it is the hardest path...............short term.

But long term, it is the only path.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Yep, offensive. How dare he say such a thing!!

TV taught me some good things.

One of those things (I don't remember what show it was).............was "if you always tell the truth, you never have to lie about cover it up.....or coming up with more lies to cover up previous lies". So, thats what I do. Tell the truth. If you don't like it, don't talk to me.
If it hurts your "feels", then I know what kind of scumbag you are.......and I know to stay away from you. If you don't mind the truth, then I don't mind being around you.
