Does the Truth Matter?

Does the truth matter?

I still think it does.

But society today seems to spin another message. Its okay to lie as long as its just a little lie.

And we have become so skeptical and cynical.

It used to be that photographic evidence was indisputable. Now, I question everything I see.

Hmmm, that looks Photoshopped.

Even videos can be altered and we all know “creative editing” can distort and pervert reality.

So what does one do?

Well to start with, I think its okay and important to ask questions. I also use my intuition, “does this feel right?” And lastly its imperative to build relationships and communities founded on trust.

Its okay to demand the truth be told.

Its okay to expect yourself and others to be accountable and honest.

As the great Winston Churchill said, “The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end there it is.”

Yes, there it is. And it matters.
