One Must Find The Truth From With-in

 One Must Find The Truth From With-in  Hercule Poirot

I've always said that I don't lie. No matter what the situation, I always tell the truth. It's against my moral compass to lie. It's the core my father built into me. One little lie will generate another lie than another lie then another etc. I believe "the truth will set you free."

However, I also understand the truth is my truth. It is the truth that is with-in me. It's shaped by my strong belief in something, my upbringing, my experiences, my knowledge, my environment and my logical mind.

My truth is not shaped by what others say, the media, the internet, what I read or any other input from the outside. I have a brain. My wonderful brain is independent of outside input from others spouting "their" truth. 

My brain is not a follower of others. It calculates its truth based on what it believes is just, fair, reasonable, honest, peoples freedom, logical and the right thing to do. My truth is what I want the situation to be, not what it is now.

Sooo, what about you. Does your truth come from others? Does your truth come from people who just make shit up? Does your truth come from people who have a financial incentive to say things even they don't really believe? Does your truth come from people who have a political incentive?

The truth is not the truth. The truth is your truth and it comes from with-in. Don't let it be the truth that others want you to believe is the truth.
