The truth is..
Why the ’truth’ is so important for us? Isn’t it comfort or happiness that we strive for? Awareness of the truth is seldom part of that.. But then why we search it so desperately?
The wife investigates on the edge of madness the secrets of her husband. She suspects that she might be cheated, not sure though. She wants evidence. Proactively choses the painful learning instead of a smooth and comfortable ignorance. But why?
The joy over self-justification is greater than the pain over a wound of infidelity. Self-justification is more prevalent than the most painful suffering.
However, fighting for other’s justice doesn’t overwrite so noble the difficult steps we have to take for truth. Indeed, even the tiniest hardship serves as valid reason to dodge the uncomfortable duty of justice. So our quest for truth is not some lofty virtues that we should be proud about or even proclaim, just voluptuous pleasure from the justification of our own ego’s certainty.
