If the truth was presented to you right before your eyes, would you believe it? If that truth contradicted your beliefs or what you know to be true, would you accept it?
In this day and age, that is actually a harder question than any of us would like to admit – but admit it we must. For if we don’t, in a world where you expect lies to become the status quo is a world none of us would thrive in.
Lies beget lies and before you know it, you’re questioning what is even true anymore. This is the precipice on which we stand right now. Honesty and integrity are virtues that while currently unfashionable, never go out of style.
Fortunately, this week’s skies provide the right conditions to separate oneself from fiction and fact. More often than not, it’s the hard thing that is the right thing. The longest hours are the ones you sit through to know if you’re right. If you’re dissatisfied with the current thing, then keep your eyes on the distant horizon. Go in the direction of truth, beauty and justice and leave behind what you must.
Real eyes. Realize. Real lies.
