Truth...
What is the truth? Where can i find it? Is it as easy as what Neo did? Take the red pill? Is it easy? HELL NO! You dont even know where to find it.
What makes it so intruiging? It drives so many people to give up their life just to look for it. Scientists strive through sleepless nights just to prove something...to find the truth of something.
What is the truth? To be honest...I dont know. But, it's these kinds of things that make you doubt that there is such a thing as truth.
A man once asked, "Who determines history?" And the answer to that question...is the strong. We live in a time of survival of the fittest. It is a dog eat dog world. And History is determined by the winners. The ones who win in wars, debates, elections. And...I believe that Truth is basically the same thing. Who tell you what the truth is? Parents, Teachers, Scientists, Politicians? People who hold much power than you do.
I bet, at least once in your lifetime, you told a lie to someone younger than you and he/she believed you. That person believed that what you told him/her was the truth.
Another example was the time of martial law here in the Philippines. Marcos selected what programs were aired, what radio stations broadcasted, what news got out. He was manipulating news making people believe what he wanted them to believe. (Note: This is purely heresay. I have to statistical evidence to prove that claim, if I offended you in anyway, please accept my deepest apologies, well...i dont even know if that is true.)
Again, what is the truth? If you ask me, well...it's just a word. It's a word that people have died for. Please note, DIED for. People fighting for something they hold true to themselves.
But again, it's just a word. A word given meaning by people with power.
So, what is truth? The truth is...There is no truth.
