Truth
I
Truth is
power either positively or negatively
The only
positive truth is an honest lie.
Lying
about the past only serves those who benefit from the present and the future
The
oppressors, those on top, feed off the oppressed (on the bottom).
The
strong feed off the weak.
The
strong ones pick on the weak ones and it is not fair.
Their
“strength” is built on myth and lies.
Everyone
has strength in our mind and soul.
Strength.
Truth. These are interesting keywords.
How are each or both linked to your mind and soul?
II
I hope
the government will finally get the truth on the residential schools system.
Truth
should be an obligation people have to each other.
Our only
true obligation is to each other
And to
help all others pursue happiness and personal fulfillment.
What is
happiness? What is fulfillment? To me,
happiness is in this moment.
Fulfillment
is when you accomplish something. Happiness is being alive.
And
free, emotionally, and healthy.
Free is
good but sometimes feelings is hard to fix.
III
Is it
something we discover by assuming we do not know?
Knowing
everything about truth.
Are
there many truths or just one?
There are
as many truths as there are involved parties
But
again, facts do not cease to be facts just because we chose to ignore them.
Let’s
stop ignoring the facts then. Make it a practice to tell a fact per day to one
person.
Yes
let’s tell a fact per day to one person.
The sky
is blue except when it is grey and the sun will probably rise tomorrow.
IV
What is
Truth? Something people did in the past and that they don’t want to know
because it is bad or good. I think
sometimes it is better if truth is not discussed.
But if
we don’t discuss then we don’t debate and we must debate the truth. It is not natural, static. There is not one version!
I wish
the government will find the truth about everything.
I can’t
trust anything the government says about truth.
When the
government speaks or writes it’s lying.
And
usually for the benefit of someone.
Yes,
this so called “democracy” feels more like a dictatorship. The definition of
democracy began a long time ago, and it meant that the people were allowed to
gather in groups without permission. Today in this government you need a
license to do that.
V
The
truth only lays in the bones of the ancestors.
And the
ancestors were involved in the search for truth when all of the noises began to
subside
Subside
and yet heard still by some for the noises are screams from the soul or the
spirit.
Because
the government is too prejudice to listen to the natives they need our help.
We all
need help.
Maybe
help is good but in what way? How can we
help?
Great
question! How can we help? Who are we helping? Ourselves? What does it mean to
help?
I would
help everyone who are trying to get the truth about TRC, residential school and
to get to the bottom of it.
VI
When
someone is honest to you and doesn’t lie about it. That is what truth is.
Truth is
between people as a mutual agreement.
It is a
secret in each individual. Maybe it should
not be opened.
But why
do you insist that we do not open up? Is
there a fear of opening up a conversation or finding a truth that you’re trying
to hide?
Native
people are trying to talk about residential school, about them being hurt and
then they talk about it.
How can
I be open to listen and hear the truth? Attention to truth and listening is the
only true alliance.
It
sometimes is easier to believe a lie than to accept the true truth.
VII
Truth is
painful but powerful. The truth is that country is built on lies and
bullshit. I am sick of hearing “GET OVER
IT.” 500 years of genocide,
assimilation, abuse, neglect…
You are
right the country is built on lies and b.s. I wish they would get over it and
be truthful.
Sometimes
honesty is a big scary change.
The more
you tell the truth the more trouble you get. Sometimes say honesty is the best
policy.
Honesty
is a kind of truth. Honesty can hurt people’s feelings. But isn’t it better to
be honest? What is the negative effect of honesty?
I will
like to find the truth about the residential school survivor.
Truth is
brave. Telling the truth is brave.
VIII
Abnormal
fact is less true than normal fiction.
It not
good when is not normal but how can you find the truth?
How can
we find truth? Great question. This is a question on method. What strategies do
we – should we – use to find truth? Should we draw on many traditions? Create
new ones?
Truth.
When will it be done.
I have
to continue to believe that truth is possible.
The
possibilities of truth or lies is as boundless as the universe
And as
limited to the psychic destruction of one individual.
