Watched the show “Chernobyl” in last few days — great show and allegory for climate change, the slo-mo Chernobyl of our era. Lies versus truth is an eternal struggle.
“The truth doesn’t care about our needs or wants. It doesn’t care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lay in wait for all time.”
“When the truth offends us, we can lie and lie until we can no longer remember the truth is even there. But it is still there.”
“Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid.”
“God always forgives, we men forgive sometimes, but nature never forgives. If you give her a slap, she will give you one.”
Okay, that last one wasn’t “Chernobyl,” that was Pope Francis, January 15, 2015.
