The Truth And The Lie... According to a 19th-century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: “It’s a marvelous day today! “ The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: “The water is very nice, let’s take a bath together! “ The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth, and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage. The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbors no wish at all to meet the naked Truth. ~spirituallyminded Painting: The Truth coming out of the well | Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1896.  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

Quite relevant to the times in the US. So many don't want to look at the naked truth, just believe the lies being spewed as the truth.

To few look on naked truth and imbrace it . Many take tanted truth, acepting the. Small whisp of. It as. The whole . Fir diging in ubcovering the. Lies that. Vlock truth . Takes work and truth be told . Lazy slackers are abundant. Give out. Instant gradifacation and. Many will hail you as King! Naked truth may hurt but mskes you stirnger if. You have it.

Think another sad truth...I liked your story..

… and so it is. The human World exists as far beyond Carrol’s looking glass as it does darkly beyond Paul’s (at least for those who’d hold Truth as divine). Our pets do much better.

The truth isn't always beauty . . But the hunger for it is.
