A Fresh Perspective on Truth in Today's Society
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding the Concept of Truth
However, given our current societal landscape, one has to wonder whether we truly grasp what Truth is. If the title of this article intrigued you enough to click, you likely understand that our words shape our reality. Some may think that words merely influence our subconscious, altering our perception without actually changing the essence of things. Others might believe that words are the fundamental fabric of the universe. Regardless, we can agree that language plays a vital role in shaping our lived experiences.
If we accept that language is a creative instrument and recognize our responsibility to positively impact reality for the sake of our community, we must ask ourselves during these turbulent times of COVID-1984:
How truthful are we—really? With ourselves, our loved ones, and our broader community?
How much more honesty are we prepared to embrace?
Chapter 2: The Power of Language and Social Issues
Consider any social issue you wish would disappear. You likely see it as external to you, believing you have no role in its existence. However, I would argue otherwise. We all share a part in it, often without even realizing it.
Take, for instance, the issue of pedophilia. Most individuals would assert they oppose it. Yet, how many of those same individuals use the term “baby” to refer to their romantic partner?
Pause and reflect on that.
The word “baby” serves both as a term for an infant and as a reference to an intimate partner.
It's perplexing, to say the least. And speaking of perplexing—have you noticed how versatile the word "fuck" is? As previously discussed, “fuck” can signify both an assault on the ear and a term for lovemaking. While many of us claim to oppose sexual violence, we often use the same word for both consensual interactions and their violent counterparts.
These examples highlight a disconnect between what individuals profess to support and how they casually communicate on a daily basis. This phenomenon illustrates the unconscious usage of language.
To further demonstrate, let's examine contemporary culture. Generation Z, in particular, has a tendency to exaggerate their expressions. This generation often proclaims “I’M LITERALLY DEAD ???” when they find something amusing. Quite the contrast! We now use the same term for death as we do for happiness. Thus, it’s no surprise that many memes from Gen Z trivialize suicide, leading to a troubling correlation with their mental health struggles.
It's troubling when youth misuse language and create harmful cultural effects. However, it's even more concerning when adults engage in similar behavior. For example, many Millennials passionately chant “#ICantBreathe” while they are, in fact, able to breathe. They refer to transwomen as “women,” despite the biological distinctions. They rally in protests exclaiming “No justice, no peace!” only to later question the absence of justice and peace.
Ironically, those who see themselves as staunch truth advocates often fall into the deepest self-deception.
Thus, it’s not surprising that we find ourselves in a state of peak self-deception, where we claim unity by maintaining physical distance and obscuring our faces from one another.
Chapter 3: The Importance of Conscious Language Use
While it's disheartening, it’s not entirely unexpected. The more we carelessly toss around words, express contradictions, and fail to uphold the integrity of our language, the more we diminish the creative potential inherent in this invaluable resource: LANGUAGE. We also cloud our own clarity in the process.
Some speculate that language was crafted for us—perhaps by advanced beings—with the intention of causing chaos among humans. However, I prefer to focus on personal empowerment.
What role do we play in shaping our reality?
Why do we tarnish our words, the very tools that help us construct meaningful worlds, rendering them ineffective before they can even take shape? Why do we continuously undermine our foundations and then wonder why our world appears to be crumbling? Each time we misrepresent a word, we weaken our own ability to manifest our desires. The unfortunate reality is that we bear the responsibility for this ourselves.
So how can we become more effective architects of a reality grounded in Sovereignty, Truth, and Freedom for all?
In light of the relentless fear-driven narratives we face, it is crucial to apply mindfulness in our thoughts and speech now more than ever.
As a favorite feminist blogger of mine once articulated, “Thoughts manifest materially. It is insufficient to simply outlaw rape. It must be eradicated. It must become unconscionable.”
Therefore, we need to transform this so-called New World Order into something inconceivable—something that cannot take root in our minds.
The time to commence our meditative efforts for humanity’s healing is now.
Consider taking a vow of silence. Use this time to reflect on your speech patterns, identifying instances where you've inverted words and restoring them to their rightful meanings. Commit to speaking with awareness and sharing only Truth—Truth in its entirety, in its purest form, with a singular significance. Speak healing, courage, and freedom into existence. Anything—just begin to honor your words and wield them with the full understanding of your responsibility towards yourself and those around you.
And always remember:
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
— Voltaire
