Truth
What is truth, and how it helps us trace past facts. But what is the benefit of past facts ? What every one does, is based on what he has understood as a "fact" in the past. If it was true, perhaps his efforts would have borne fruit but if it was misunerstood or misinterpreted, then the consequences can end in arguments and recrimination, and litigation.
Now a days people are feeling aggrieved by what happened 1200 years ago, 500 years ago and feel like giving a fitting reply to those of their descendants. Both parties who argue now in 2017 never knew them, nor had anything to do with them, except being their decendants. Do you think this has any merit or purpose other than give a vent to that imaginary grievance ? It is better to build all afresh, with compassion and forebearance.
Perhaps they have discovered another psychological fact, and that is how we can whip frenzy in those who never had a chance to think for themselves. Indeed this clue was found years ago to whip up frenzy in Europe and have tit for tat. There too people who came after perfected, and after the technological innovation they used the media, print,electronic and social media to do the job. Just as these, there are those who do the opposite and spread awareness, and goodness, and sunshine in the lives of others. I think this is much better than creating havoc as always peace is preferred by every human being, not because he belongs to a particular belief, but because it is rooted in our own natures.
People are reluctant to share the truth of their lives with others and just because of that those who are against them spread fake news, and no one can defend them as they have always hidden from the truth, and kept aloof. I have decided to tell at least those within the family to truth about our own selves so that those who come after us, should not ask what happened to them and why ? It is because what happened in the past can repeat again, as genes flow without our asking them for permissions and legal battles.
If we did not know about Jesus what would have happened ? Yet there are those who say point blank, "it is a figment of the imagination of sick people". "The Church is a 'man-made- religion' - but it comes from those who have a grievance against it. Let us not be among those, who are blind and lead the blind !
