Quote of the Day: Most People Can’t Handle the Truth

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



I’ve written a great deal over the years about the subject of truth, which is why this particular line from A Few Good Men caught my attention.  The truth can often be harsh.  The truth can be scary.  The truth can be embarrassing.  The truth can be costly.  Yes, for all these reasons, and more, most people can’t handle the truth.
And because they can’t handle truth, they learn to hate it.  That’s right, instead of loving truth, most people try to make true that which they love.  They much prefer the comfort of self-delusion to the pain often associated with truth…
In politics, for example, any newcomer quickly discovers that if he is totally committed to truth, he will likely find himself on the outside looking in.  Because a majority of voters can’t handle the truth, politicians believe they have no choice but to lie.  And if they refuse to do so, they usually — and quickly — become ex-politicians.
This is from self development and libertarian author Robert Ringer

      You can’t reform something that is inherently flawed. Politics run on one kind of fuel….money. That translates to greed. The world was never meant to become a big money making empire. So I say that MOST all people cannot handle the truth. For two main reasons.

      One. Because they have a false version of the truth which is tailored to tell them what they want to hear.

      Two. Because they prefer lies over the truth. For instance, the scene in Open Season cartoon where in the shadows, it looked as if a bear was tearing apart another animal, which in reality he wasn’t at all. But it was an excuse to show violence to children. Thus, lies were chosen over truth. Call it deception.

      Greed is the number one problem in the world. And when you put things iinto proper perspective, you will find that it runs through the veins of the majority of all people. It may not consciously be money. It might be something else. But people are “wanting” everything. There is very little self sacrifice left. No virtues. Just people selling something. I;ve never seen so many book writers who claim to offer solutions to people’s problems. And after decades of this nonsense, people still haven’t found the solutions that way. People who claim to help others for a price are LIARS and THIEVES. The only real helpers are the volunteers who work for FREE. They are serving a higher purpose at their own expense. And they ask nothing in return. In the churches we often see the hypocrites who do good deeds so they can brag and gain a reputation. They are no better than a killer, spiritually speaking.

      I for one learned early on in my life there was more to it than all the vanity and lust that is all around every single day. The world is getting worse. Not better. That is subjective depending on how much you love yourself and money. I actually have a brother who is the opposite of me. He loves money. And he still lie and con people to get it. Some day the world will end up being turned inside out. And it will be the greedy people who will break apart. Only those who saw things coming will know better. And they will haters of greed.
