It seems that everywhere I turn, there are liars around me. If people don't lie with their lips, then they lie with their eyes, or with their smiles, or with their handshakes, or with their hugs, or with their work, or with their media. These are people who have something to either prove or gain - it is typical, and it is quite damaging. Is the truth really this difficult to provide?
You go to court and listen to people trying to prove their cases before a judge and a jury. Why do they need to prove a case? Why not simply tell the whole truth? If the truth proves them innocent, then they are innocent, if guilty, then guilty. There can certainly be no justice without truth. And by understanding this, doesn't it make more sense to always seek the whole (logical) truth before seeking justice?
He may know the truth about one thing, and she may know the truth of another - the complete truth is always there. With truth comes justice, and with justice comes peace. I promise you, each of you, that there will never be peace on this planet without people providing the complete truth. You can hope and pray and protest all you want - but with a world full of liars, expect neither justice nor peace.
