The Truth, the Lie and the Doubt

The truth and the lie are concepts linked to each other. One of them doesn’t exist without the other. But are we smart and vigilant enough to distinguish which is it the truth and which is it the lie? Maybe it’s not a question of intelligence but evidence. If you got evidence you can define it as the truth. If you don’t it’s most likely a lie.

However, we can’t apply this rule to everything, some truths hold no strong evidence. Or maybe it’s a question of perspective, what you see as your truth it may not be the truth of someone else.

Truth is relative and it’s not absolute because we humans invented “The truth”. And like everything we‘ve invented, it looks like us, imperfect and flawed.

We swim in a pool overloaded of information, therefore, we’re incapable of recognizing what’s true or what’s even real.

If you’re too confident and you trust what you see and what you hear without questioning even a little, you don’t deserve the mind that you have.

The mind is a machine, its purpose is to question before accepting data.

You have to learn to educate your children on the concept of doubt. Educate them not to record the data but to look for it and analyze it first.

But it’s not your fault. You were raised to be like this by governments and schools, to accept whatever information comes in your way and stock it in your mind like some kind of used garbage.

You must wonder why go through this tiring process? Why adopt the approach of doubt? Well seems like a lot of work. But that way you’ll be less deceived and duped by people, and by social media, and by your boss or even by your government.

Eventually, you’ll feel empowered knowing you choose what you believe.

You choose your own truth whatever that truth is.
