World Truth Exchange seems a pretty heady title for a blog. It has a nice ring to it though. Sounds solid, something akin to the new York Stock Exchange only trading in a different commodity than corporate stocks and bonds.
What I hope this blog will become is a forum where people come to share the truth of their feelings and beliefs concerning the plight humanity faces at the hands of those who would bend, fold, spindle and otherwise mutilate the truth to ends that do not support the greatest good for all human beings.
I have discovered over the years that there is no such thing as absolute truth. Indeed, all truth is relative to the person observing events as they unfold, and that everything one holds to be true can change with glacial slowness or in less than the blink of an eye.
An example of glacially paced change would be the acceptance of women as being equal to, and in some ways superior to men. This truth is more accepted as being absolute in some parts of the world more than in others, yet continues to move forward as a universal belief. In the blink of an eye I can see what nonsense belief in the tooth fairy is.
Ask any of my friends. Ask my wife. Truth and honesty are very high values for me. All the more so as I believe that it is only through truth, honesty and compassion will we as a species will survive for very much longer.
What I am looking for are others who share the belief that only the truth shall set us free. I state freely that I have no truth to dispense, other than my observations of the human condition and how the lack of truth and fundamental human justice only serve to cast us in the roll of either oppressor or oppressed.
