Long has it bothered the conscious that the knowledge of truth is restricted at various levels. People that have it do not always share it. Many don't know it when they do receive it... when they hear, watch or read it. We have to build trust of the sources or use multiple sources. Have to study everything closely to make sure there isn't some trick of light from the exposed material(s). And how is it fair on who gets to determine who gets it. Who determines what we can really handle?

It makes us question if it is a governmental or theological responsibility to shade it, to twist or taint it. To make it suitable for general mass consumption. Like water that has to be filtered from some of the elements that could harm us. To have elements added to purify it. How does one "clean" up the truth? Is it more about sugar coatings or better left as a bitter pill? These cliches are indeed older than lifetimes... yet they still apply.

For the great benefit of humankind, the truth should always be passed along and with a tiny grain of doubt upon it's full integrity as such. It should be taught as a high moral principle on which we can build foundations of trust for our mortal times and with those around us being the beneficiaries.

And clouding it within massive overdoses of propaganda or minutae of detail on which can overload the mind is but another means of keeping us ignorant. Of writing ambiguity into the prose to confuse and confound. Again consider who is doing what with what is shared. Instead of a growing knowledge-base, we find it whittled away to nothingness like ancient secrets buried with the keepers... never again to assemble the Great Pyramids, Hanging Gardens or Great Wall.

Maybe the truth will not set us free, but it could make us a better people.
