Right Track/Wrong Train

Right Track/Wrong Train



Isn't it curious how often in chess games, business life and casual coversations we get the scent quickly

and get the picture partially right going in... yet eventually conclude with decisions which are by degrees

wrong. Example might be our frequent realization that truth hurts. Do we typically learn from it and grow

or do we revert to an attempt to dismiss and/or kill things we dislike or fail to fully understand? Discuss.




........................................

I think sometimes we may say the the truth hurts. :'(

Only just be doing it as a sarcasm, and our own little private joke. 😉

Well, you can be right on the Track of Truth approaching the Station of Safety and then all of a sudden the Devil's Freight Train of Lies comes into view, fouling the main line up ahead. But you decide to continue at full speed since putting on the brakes would mean you are doubting your righteousness. You brace for an impact that never comes. Truth has triumphed over deceit once again.

I ask: Or is it Deciet playing the part of Truth!

Deceit functions to make us appreciate truth by fighting for it.

If truth is handed to you on a silver platter with a side order of french fries you may take it for granted.

Shouldn't we believe something to be true, until it is proven otherwise?

I always felt we ideally proceed from lower truths to ever higher truths, sort of like a train going up a mountain to the summit of absolute truth where you can get out and look down at the morons below who still struggle in the lower planes of reality.

Is this how you see others?

I think everyone has something to offer.

Interesting macro perspective, hd. What's your take on the smaller question posed:

"... frequent realization that truth hurts. Do we typically learn from it and grow or... "

I have a one track mind and as far as I'm concerned it's on the "right" track.
