Truth

A sad tale indeed, but learning never the less.  No one wants the truth thrust on them, they have to figure it out for themselves.  This is inside and outside of the church.  This is in the community.  My sight is definitely limited, but I would say this is a safe conclusion for my little sphere of the world.  The truth can be good or bad, and believe me no one wants you to tell them the truth, especially if it is bad or puts someone other than yourself in a bad light.  At first I thought that people just didn't trust me or like me, but I have since learned that it is not the only source for people's words or actions in response to the truth.  I also thought I was living among so many pollyanna's and optimists, but then I discovered that wasn't it either.  Everyone is dealing with their own little demons and trying to cleanse their own inner vessels, that is, no one is perfect.  Alas for the truth seeker it is a lonely life.  I must learn to wait for them to discover the truth for themselves.  What a sad world it would be if everyone would have to wait to be hit with an apple to believe in gravity, yet in a sense its true.  Of course not everyone is a genius, including myself and so I wait and plod on.
