Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it. - Maimonides

In my life's experiences, I have noted that what is absolutely true often meets with great adversity. I don't know what prompts such passionate responses, and from some of the world's highest thinkers. But, many people stand ready to argue against what is righteous, good and beneficial. If you look around the world, what is being taught? While people speak of peace, they nearly destroy each other protesting the many wars we are facing in these present days. While people talk of education, we put more support into our armies, our governments and other countries than we place in our children and their resources. We can't see the forest through the trees and we have no single direction. We are a scattered people. How can we agree on anything? Therefore, the truth is out there and we have yet to find it.

If you must hate, if hatred is the leaven of your life, which alone can give flavor, then hate what should be hated: falsehood, violence, selfishness. - Boerne, Der ewige Jude

Takeaways
  • In my life's experiences, I have noted that what is absolutely true often meets with great adversity.
  • Someone once said, the only people we should be getting even with are the people who have helped us.
  • We are like little kids who can easily be distracted by a shiny, twirly thing than a book sitting right beside us.
