veritas

the truth is a funny thing. many times we search for it, begging others to whisper it in our ears, but once we hear it, we wish we hadn't. we wish we had left curiosity well enough alone. ignorance could have truly been bliss. however, we live in a broken world with broken people. we can't afford to hold onto ignorance. it will chain us and lock us into a single mindset that won't help us solve the problems we face every day. the only chance we have at surviving this crazy, mixed-up world is to open our minds to the many different thoughts that exist within it, deepening the well from which we can search for an answer.

and search we must. there is a lot of information out there ready to be accessed by anyone willing to listen. yet, many people speak erroneous words, hoping to prey on our fears and weaknesses. we will have to be strong enough to wade through these biases sent to deviate us from our quest for knowledge. we will have to think critically about everything we thought we knew to be true and about every new thought or opinion we come across. we will have to learn what we can hold dear within our hearts and what we must take with a grain of salt. we were not created to blindly follow but to use our brains to ponder. we are truth seekers and the truth is hidden somewhere inside each of us. let us venture forward and reach for that wisdom to discover ourselves.
