Truth doesn't fail. It demands hard answers. It stands in the face of fear. It is neutral and rejects partiality. It is not political or partisan. It stands alone if necessary. It makes us work for answers and it is not for the faint of heart.

Truth cannot be engineered, legislated and it cannot be denied. It can be overlooked but it will not go away because it was here before we were.

People fail the truth, looking for assumptions or easy answers. Just like a sailboat skimming across the top of the waters, thinking that smooth, shiny surface is all there is. But no, there is a whole other world beneath them. And that world matters too.

Some want to re-write the truth because they don't approve. Some want to misuse the truth, forgetting that none of us are perfect and we all like to bend and twist it a little...or a lot.

The truth is, we need the truth, even when we don't want it. Even when it doesn't fit our own agenda. Even when it's not politically correct. Because it applies to both sides. Most importantly it keeps us humble. Humility, that's another hard one. Think life is hard? You are right. When we live it right!
