Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each
week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and
contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is
posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1235 - #Truthiness
27 Apr, 2026
TRUTHINESS
"Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is, and you must bend to its power or live a lie."
Miyamato Masushi
"If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance."
Orville Wright
Can we have it both ways?
Especially in this time of truthiness?
This time of marketing, advertising, p.r., and reputation management
above connection, expression, and knowing and sharing of self?
This time when the powers that be lie to us so constantly
that anything that happens to them
or around them
is suspect?
Can we accept what is true
while still questioning
what is accepted as truth?
Can we challenge what is accepted
while still acknowledging the truth?
How can we know what is truly true?
Only by trying to have it both ways,
both acknowledging and testing truth.
Another contradictory co-existing reality.
