I heard it said,
" I believe in the lie".
I believe we grow up being told lies.
Lies passed down from one generation to another.
They console us they haunt us
as we carry them on our backs.
All the while they are lies.
We lie to ourselves, lie to others.
So much we believe them,
hold to them, defend them them, die with them.
"If only."
"One more and I'm done."
"God will save me."
"When I have this."
"The truth will set me free."
"if I work hard enough I will succeed."
"I can be anything if I set my mind to it."
"Nirvana is just up ahead, then I can rest."
" It is as I believe."
Manufactured Consent is all it is.
Truth is only perception, perspective.
Truth is a lie in the minds eye.
So, we go own, our self preservation.
The lie we tell ourselves to cope with the truth.
The truth? We are frail and vulnerable.
We grasp and struggle to interrupt to understand,
wrangle reality to find some meaning.
Money, power, success and control.
These are false realities. Lies we tell ourselves.
But in the end, that is only answered within and for some too late to act accordingly.
