There are some ideas we’d rather go on believing and promoting, than to see the truth. The world is more violent than ever, poverty is a growing problem, the neighbors are really bad people, people from X country are dangerous, I am a victim, this is going to be very difficult, etc. etc.
Some of us make a career or cause with a flawed or partially flawed idea as the root.
We believe what we chose to believe – and these beliefs guide our life, actions and experience.
People tend to base their opinions on personal history, not world history. Turn off the tv, stop putting energy into what the news tells you is important and focus on things that really do have an impact on your life.
This begs the age old question; what is truth?
What is the truthful reference for this or that belief ?
If we have a trustworthy reference point for the truth , we can check our assumptions and beliefs against that with assurance.
Jesus said,” I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.”
Pilot responded, “what is truth?”
Where is the ” yardstick of truth ” for the real and important issues in our lives?
Where is yours ?
Not you Larry – this is rhetorical . Love you
