people don't want to hear the truth - 09-20-2005, 08:34 PM

They would rather believe their own lies. Woe is he who knows the theory of everything, he will be the loneliest man ever, for though the TOE may be logically sound, scientifically forthbringing, indeed true, people will refuse to believe it, as part of their natural adversity to the truth and as part of their lack of humility (which is also a lack of reverance). Resentment, ostracism, ridicule, doubt, all things will result, save for understanding amongst the discoverer and his enlightenees. I know that the TOE is touchy, but you don't have to find it offensive! What would you do if you were the one chosen to bear the truth? Would you go crazy if you didn't know for sure you were right, but you believed you were, and you couldn't find out from other people because they were predisposed to tell you you were wrong no matter what, because they believed in nothing? What kind of society gives rise to this awkward social atmosphere? What would you do in the face of blind opposition, defensive ignorance, and imminent jealousy, when it begins to impede the natural evolution of thought, and the progress of mankind. There is not even a word to describe how much humans fear and resist the ultimate change, which involves changing their mindset and the world they live in as well. Never give up I say!

Bless this forum, for it represents the last vestige of hope, quite possibly the last hiding ground for those who ever dreamed, who ever had an idea, and who wanted to share it, not with one person, but with the world! I wrote an essay once in midschool called "My Vision of Tomorrow's World" and it involved the internet giving the world a chance for unity. Hats off to you Robert, you've done a good thing. We questers represent the best that mankind has to offer, and I don't think anyone can disagree to that!

So back to the matter at hand. Have you ever felt pitted against? Have you ever felt alienated, and alone? Have you ever felt like the world was stupid? Please share your experiences, and I will share mine. What would you do if you were the one chosen to bear the truth? Would you feel overwhelmed, and how would you go about that feeling?
