Truth Still Exists

2 November 2003

I was asked to shade the truth about some important matters by a person in another company on Friday. I replied, ”No.” I amplified my ”no” with some additional choice words. The world has simply become far too obsessed with making people ”feel” good regardless of how stupid, wrong, self-defeating or moronic their words and actions become. We want an ”undo” button for every thought, action and word we unleash.

Thankfully, there’s a remnant of people who understand personal responsibility. They know the difference between good and bad. They understand that ”we’re doing the best we can” sometimes isn’t good enough. They respect excellence because they know you don’t simply attach the label ”exellent” to something thereby making it so. Something lousy is lousy whether we call it excellent or not.

It’s 3:00 in the morning and I’ve just read Telling the Truth About Radical Islam at LilacRose. I encourage you to do the same and come face-to-face with those areas where you shade the truth or shy away from the truth about any subject due to concerns about political correctness, polite society or making someone ”feel” good.
