THE WHOLE TRUTH NONE DARES TO SAY, NONE HAS DARED TO SAY TILL DATE

THE WHOLE TRUTH NONE DARES TO SAY, NONE HAS DARED TO SAY TILL DATE

Rare comes a man who is wholly truthful. Perhaps, the world is yet to see one who speaks the truth without dilution or compromise with prevalent dominant untruths. Such a one is yet to arrive. If he surfaces, he will be persecuted or left alone to wither away. But, who knows, may  be his words will outlive his time on earth to germinate at a more opportune moment in history to lend him posthumous glory? Till date, though, compromising and toning down truth to suit the political exigencies of the times has been the way even sages and saints, prophets and divine incarnations have resorted to. Perhaps, much of it has to do with ignorance of the workings of nefarious ideologies. But much of it could also be due to making the attempt to override differences between opposed religious views and draw people in under a unified banner by being accommodating diammetrically opposed, diverse views, exclusive and intolerant unto murderous intent. But why resort to philosophical untruths in doing so? Why must truth be sacrificed at the scaffold of politics or even attempted human welfare along lying lines that must for sure fail?
