Originally posted by FreakyKBHNo, it isn't. A person motivated by what he believes to be true moves something. But it isn't the truth which moves there, it's the motivation; this is demonstrated by the fact that people can just as well be motivated by falsehood.
It's kinda like saying 'Wind, by itself, moves nothing.'

Who's thumbing that post down? No sense of humor.
In any case, the point is well taken, that telling truths which hurt people who love you is a dastardly thing and liable to get you into trouble. Which goes to confirm the OP, that there are more important things than truth. One of them is not gratuitously hurting the people who love you by telling them that their fat butts look fat in tight jeans.

I have thought that the truth is more important than anything else. But I did eventually come to believe that it is just another commodity. Given trumpism, I need to revisit.
Does your wife's ass look fat in those jeans?
