This world we live in  is a funny place, our values are warped and strange, that is how it seems to me at least. We often leave the simple, obvious truth aside and go hunting for stuff which seems more classy, erudite and one that massages our ego. Perchance that something makes us look more noble or important in the eyes of others. Do we really hate simplicity that much? 


Often the answers to our problems are right in front of our eyes, but we think they are not sophisticated enough or valuable enough and go hunting for answers or shades of the truth which seem more colorful, well attired and more appealing.

Have you ever approached a math problem from a complicated angle only to find that a simple formula could have solved the problem in a few seconds but you went meandering all around the country side?

Sometimes the truth is a very simple, obvious fact, maybe too common to be an attention grabber. Maybe it makes you look like a simpleton or doesn't suit your high estate.

However, the truth has always been simple, probably that is why it is called the naked truth. It doesn't have to dress itself, cover its flaws with and paint and powder to make it more attractive. The truth is the rugged truth. It really doesn't change much. Facts change as we discover newer dimensions but the truth doesn't change. 

Truth doesn't often have too many dimensions, there is simplicity in truth. It can be tested any number of times and the answer would remain the same. However, the truth never really catches people fancy. Try speaking the truth and tell people about your troubles they might look at you as if you are stupid. Wail, put on some tears and make a scene you'll have hundreds of people pay attention to you and at least a couple who would try to help you.

Good is good and evil is evil, you cannot change that. You cannot make bad seem good, unless of course you have ulterior motives? Another reason could be you are totally off the track.

Have you noticed that when poor people are suffering and crying out against injustice nothing much happens, however when the baddies are hit hard all hell breaks loose?

The truth really has a weak voice. The world loves drama. Watch the news, only dramatic breaking news catches people's attention. So truth is almost always sacrificed on the altar of drama everywhere. It is dressed up to make it seem alluring.

Does that mean that truth has no value? The value of truth is never in the market place, it doesn't waver, it is consistent. Being just black or white it is not very attractive.  

However, truth is a choice we make, it is the proof of our character and the proof is revealed in how consistent it remains in every circumstance. It is simplicity at its best and living by what we value most, not just to seem valuable in the eyes of others. 

Truth may not attract attention but it stands the test of time.

Have you ever wondered if anything you hear today is the plain and simple truth?
Can you take every thing you hear at face value? </div>

You must be living in a protected world, evil is all around, call it insanity or by any other name, evil is evil when it does things against humanity.

Judge Judy says "you don't have to have a good memory if you tell the truth." You sent me to the dictionary with Erudite, love it when someone does that.

YouTube isn't timed to turn itself off after 30 minutes when we go to sleep with Judge J *(that's what we call her)* in the background. I know more about the law than anyone I know cuz of her.

Interesting perspective on truth, meaty. What is truth really? How true something is may be dependent upon an individual's perspective. What may be truth for one may not be for another. It also may change over time with new information, new circumstances. I've spent my life searching for "the truth", only to realize there is no one  truth and how does one ascertain truth? 

Everything is in this world is in a constant state of change, so if that is the case, is truth static, or does it change over time as well?

Great post and you've given me lots to mull over here!
