If we examine the great dearth of truth and integrity in our society we'll notice that it is fueled by psychological factors that inhibit individual thinking and promote seeking acceptance from social groups. Notice how people are excellent at pointing out faults in other ethnic groups, other religions, and other political factions than the ones they themselves belong to. Yet, they ususally choose to ignore or deny accurate criticisms of groups that they identify with. It's a gang-type mentality that co-exists with the desire for belonging that gives people a sense of security.
Doctors routinely ignore the truth that standard treatment approaches are not in the best interests of patients, motivated by unwillingness to admit they are harming others and by the financial rewards given to those who play along with the pharmaceutical dominated system.
Voters routinely ignore the truth that they are supporting gangsters who run for office when those gangsters pretend to support the views of a certain political orientation.
Media persons ignore the truth that they are parroting lies since they get rewards and promotions for telling the stories that are consistent with the establishment agendas and they face demotion or job loss if they share some truly inconvenient truths.
Make no mistake, when you are committed to the truth it will put you at odds with people and institutions around you. You will have to face your fears of not belonging, of not being accepted. It's a choice that can either empower your spirit or leave you subservient to the will of others and to group-think mentality of herds.
The challenges of our civilization test your spirit to see how committed to the truth you really are!
