Facts are the enemy of truth.- Don Quixote - "Man of La Mancha"
The facts and the truth should be one and the same. However, many times what we believe to be the truth will later be dispelled by the introduction of the facts. Often this is unintentional brought on by misinformation. Other times this occurs when people dig in their heels and insist their version of the story is the truth.
The truth can definitely be twisted. It's good when facts come to light, but so often the damage has long been done.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you freak me out with the timing of your quotes, Linda! I'm reading Don Quixote. And I actually highlighted that line.
ReplyDelete*looks over shoulder* :-)
That quote is so timely. Isn't everything today twisted and manipulated into some version that is less than the truth?
ReplyDeleteOMG. I totally agree with Cheryl.
ReplyDelete"Isn't everything today twisted and manipulated into some version that is less than the truth?" YES!!!!
Talon- Unfortunately this is true.
ReplyDeleteNicky- Good for you! I've never read it - maybe I should. Maybe I was drawn to it because you are reading it. You know...channeling. Freaky!
Cheryl- The more I read in the papers, the more I believe this is true. Sometimes too, people just ignore the facts and continue to believe what they wish.
Meleah- Ditto!!!
