TRUTH — THE HIGHEST IDEAL
Dare I speak as if I know “Truth”? Dare I not, for to Truth I am dedicated. That which I am given to see as Truth is my truth, however close or distant it may be from the absolute. I accept and live Truth as I am allowed.
In a world of lies where falsehood reigns, attention to Truth seems a foreign concept, a presumption of the ideal, even a pretense.
We each are a great mystery, living in an even grater mystery. So, am I capable of identifying Truth should I see it? Perhaps partially, if I find sufficient humility.
I know part of my Truth is I am not a brilliant person. My mind, with it’s limitations unknown, is expressed and filtered through my brain with its limitations.
It is disturbing to admit I am not equipped to accomplish my greatest quest, my reason to be, at least fully. But, I find peace in pursuing my highest goal as best I can, for I can do no more.
I ask, which is the greatest goal, Truth or Love? I find it True that Love unlimited, far beyond my experience and understanding, is my highest goal. That concept itself is measured by Truth, so for me, Truth still reigns. All knowing is subject to it.
My commitment to Truth at this moment brings a warm sense of Love over me. Love for all, which I test with the thought of Donald Trump. Can I honestly say I love him? On this challenge I must think.
Experience reveals not all Truth is initially comfortable, therefore we often tend to accept an apparently comfortable lie…
