'then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free'

read it from my friend's facebook profile.... i think it's a quote from a bible.

hmm... from what i could interpret from it. truth hurts. and many of us don't want to accept the truth, sometimes, somewhere... i mean at any point in time. we humans, just like to avoid/hide the truth. people from the older days hide truth to save the kings pride, the higher monarchy, whoever that is involve just to cover whateva bad deeds they have sinned.

so y come up with a teaching that is not being practice since the time of christ. i'm assuming that those people during those time were more 'naive'? more well taught?? i don't know. they seems to follow more blindly than we think they were. otherwise, why would one man's command bring shivers down the spinal cord of every men in the court room, and backyard that is full of military soldiers waiting to receive order from the highest hierachy. are they just pure blunt? or they are just living in fear??

i think everyone have senses, don't tell me those people 5 thousands years ago, they don't. otherwise, how would they come up with a design or a thought that is so applicable that could last for hundreds of years. so, to say they don't, it's just pure plain from those critiques.

so back to the question, why we need to hide the truth?/ to tell 'white lies' to so call protect your love ones? or is it a cool thing to hide the truth from the people involved, so that it makes you more superior? because information holds an upper hand on those who doesn't.

imagine you are doing some under-ground experiement, and no one in the world knows, suddenly you just pop up from some hole and announce that you could heal some patients that diagnosed with AIDS. surely, u'll become powerful, because every party, every human race will come down on their knees begging for that cure.

okok.. not so exaggerate... coming back to the reality we face from our daily lives. government hiding facts and truths about the real thing. love ones that hide things from u. and if u know the truth, will that set you free??

for us people, i think most of us will just sulk in those situations, knowing the fact about the truth. the most amazing part is that we don't want to accept the truth, even though we know truth hurts us.

i think knowing the truth doesn't really set u free, but knowing the truth just teaching u to adapt to the situation at hand, and moving along and deciding what we should do next. truth memang hurts, and there's nothing much we can do. i would prefer u tell me right at my face, so i know what i've done wrong, probably it will hurt a lil... but what's there to lose right.

sorry to those who feel offended if i critque the bible or whatsoever. it's just solely my opinion. if u can't accept it, so be it. bah! if u wanna discuss bout it, boleh juga. =)
