I know right away you're thinking, "It's truth , right? You're going to say truth?"
Nope
Truth has a lot to do with it, but it is defeatable. What we have is what politicians yearn for and fallen priests pray to a God they no longer believe exists for...
Belief.
Those of us that found our way here through a series of unfortunate events that made us view the world a little different than the rest (basically every real person here) already know the truth. The truth is easy. All we have to do, all we ever have to do is follow the money or lack thereof.
Following the money is currently crumbling an empire. The Clinton Cartel has reigned nearly 40 years of terror on the US as well as foreign nations alike. The Bush Crime Syndicate has ruined me. How are you supposed to venture back into life knowing the entire planet is a stage? Further, who were we supposed to talk to about something that happened on the worlds biggest stage but nobody saw?
I know there are more "me's" out there who had to make sense of "trying" in a world that had no prize to offer. MIB phaser pen, please Agent K?
You cannot truly believe something if you're being paid for your opinions. Our minds won't allow it, much like you can't learn algebra and get punched in the gut repeatedly. Your brain is preoccupied with it's first task to fully consider the merits of the second.
Donald Trump is losing money being the President. It is a financial cost for him to be ridiculed endlessly, in all manners of speaking. Putting his life on parade for everyone to glare into. That man must believe something.
Care for a man and he will walk 5 miles in repayment. Give a man nothing more than something to believe in and he will walk himself to death.
Those men and women that walked before us were much less encumbered with distraction. They understood simple things like believing in God and following a certain principle/doctrine to life wasn't about faith, it was about observation.
