What is the truth actually? I find out the hard way that the truth is something you believe in and not something that is real even if proven. Of course I try my best not to follow the trend but sometimes it is out of your control. A hundred lies can destroy one truth. There is nothing we can do about it. It means nothing if I know the truth when a hundred others simply dismiss what I say. Especially when there is no way I can reproduce the evidence. Perhaps this is why some people are labelled as insane or crazy simply because they believed in something else other than the norm. You cannot blame anyone in this matter. This is simply how the world, how our reality works right? This is different from keeping a secret. Not only can you not share the excitement of the truth, people might even step on it.
One bad rumor about you and you might face some serious problems in your social adventures. Even existing relationships with people will be threatened. You can never underestimate the power of opinions and suggestions. Do not expect people to get to know you before passing judgement. Sometimes one chance is all you get and one chance is all it takes. The truth is commanded by the popular, the influential and sometimes the strongest. The vanquished have no say in things. And those caught in the middle will follow the winning party to avoid unnecessary problems or simply to enjoy the spoils of war. It is human nature to secure an advantage whenever possible wherever possible. However, there are some very smart people who sway according to their own whims and to extend their own goals, independent of the current scenario. Those would be the deadliest.
It gets very lonely preaching your own truth. You need to be very disciplined and strong too. To withstand the insults. To withstand the betrayals by people close to you. Then at the end of the day, will the truth be worth it? What do you get from it? Broken relationships? How many people will actually thank you for the truth? It might even be too late. Idealistic people will say that people who do not even listen is not a friend. That is a very naive thing to say. I guess the best thing to do is to keep everything to yourself. Just grin lightly whenever your best friend spread lies. Attempts to correct the person will end horribly even when done away from the spotlight. Through all this madness, you will end up even doubting yourself. Is what you know actually the truth?
