truth

<p>&quot;The truth is what facts are. I like facts. I like things to line up and be clear, and when we are honest and true about things, it helps things to make sense, and it cuts out a lot of the fat that gets in the way and causes for the misunderstandings that I believe lead to violence and... dysfunction, etc.&quot; ~ Amanda Seales</p><p><a href="/tags/quote/" rel="tag">#quote</a> <a href="/tags/truth/" rel="tag">#truth</a> <a href="/tags/dysfunction/" rel="tag">#dysfunction</a> <a href="/tags/reflection/" rel="tag">#reflection</a> <a href="/tags/naturephotography/" rel="tag">#NaturePhotography</a></p>

<p>The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.<br></p>Truth and Politics, Hannah Arendt<br><br><a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#politics</a> <a href="/tags/truth/" rel="tag">#truth</a> <a href="/tags/lies/" rel="tag">#lies</a> <a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#USPol</a><br>
