eeveehow, searching the truth

Yeah right? Elders told us to be honest, teachers asked us not to lie, so that we could gain trustworthy from the others. Seriously, who has benefited from being honest? Criminals get punishment after confession; awkwardness occurred after we ‘honestly’ criticize our friends’ weaknesses; bad impression filled the mind after we exposed our hidden identity. Till now, who still insists to be honest?

          No doubt we could know the real fact after people telling the truth, every human is a curios creature, don’t you? What’s making truth such a valuable substance, which everybody longing to seek? Let’s flash back to the prehistoric time, when we ancestors thought they possessed the true knowledge. From Bohr to JJ Thompson, the atomic structure’s concept has been refined for so many times, nobody dares to assure which concept is the ultimate truth. Even though we have a proper, more reliable concept for atoms now, but as a science student, or rather a civilian, we need to put doubt on every piece of knowledge, which assumed to be true. That’s the positive way of learning!

            Back to the previous subject, since the ‘truth’ we know now may not be ‘truth’ in the future, why are we still bothering to know the damned truth?  Just forget it!

            What would you do if you somehow know a truth, which you refuse to know? Sadly it occurs many times in our lives. Some people will accept it, with an unwillingly heart; some people choose to ignore it, without giving any damn; some people will avoid it, as if they are still living with dumbness. A good friend of mine teaches me this proverb: ‘Silence is golden, Ignorant is bliss’. Well, this proverb suits the situation above nicely!

            The government or politicians that we vote for, surprisingly is the group of people who has the least honesty among other occupations. The reason is that they are smart in hiding the truth and creating stories (which we can understand) so that the community gets comforted. Unfortunately nobody appreciates it. On the other hand, we give 100% confidence to the doctors, who always full of bombastic craps (which we can’t understand), and only be seen if some tragedy happened. Yet, they are known as the most honest people. It seems that everybody prefers to be dumb, right? It is just that we didn’t realize.

            Truth, are you still looking for it? Yes, I am. Though I hate truth, I enjoy the process, or rather the journey of searching for it, like Robert Langdon did. Never regret.
