A Simple Hope

I hope that when people learn of the great many things that have been taken from them, essentially stolen by a multitude of perpetuated, overlapping and interconnected lies, that they are able to respond constructively to the situation, and not be tempted by the constantly reinforced motives of revenge, anger or destruction.

Learning, however, is not something people are trained to do. They are brought up to be instructed by institutions, guided by authority that has usurped the power of truth by afflicting the minds of the people with lies. People will defend these lies to no end, because they have essentially known nothing else. They are also afraid to be wrong, because they have associated being wrong and making mistakes with failure, which meets with strong negative social reinforcement and stigma. Essentially, many people are not only unable, but unwilling to understand the truth.

As evidenced below, people will confront simple truth with complex lies. We must forgive them however, because they know not what they do.

All we can do is be patient, be truthful and to never surrender our hope.
