There is the ridiculous idea that one can hide the truth
No
The world KNOWS
The world knows the truth
The world doesn’t know all truth (all truth about all things)
There’s much you don’t know and as much the world doesn’t know
But there’s the truth you’re hiding
Your little secret
Your secret doubts and insecurities
Your secret plans
Your secret wishes and desires
Your secret business schemes
Your secret dishonesties
And you think the world doesn’t know
The world KNOWS
The world knows
The world just DOESN’T CARE
But if the world cared — your SECRETS would ALL BE PLAIN REALITY
Because you are not so special
Whatever your darkest secrets — the first 10 people you met today all share the same “secrets”
Whatever great lie or insincerity you managed to contrive — it is laughably transparent.
Whatever great swindle or trick is going through your mind — if you can see it — so can WHOEVER else
And everyone KNOWS
Because there’s only one way in which something can be true — and infinitely many ways in which it can be false. Which means that there are INFINITELY MANY WAYS in which your little LIE or SECRET or TRICK is exposed
There are infinitely many ways in which the untruth is untrue
Everything that is true INVALIDATES that which is untrue
Since no one cares about your little tricks and secrets — it is not immediately “revealed”. Perhaps it is never revealed — because you are so insignificant that nobody cares about confronting you, or even bothering thinking about you
But all the DATA is there, available, to whoever that cares.
And if it’s not available — then TIME ALWAYS MAKES IT AVAILABLE.
Because the data just MOUNTS.
The million and billion ways in which something is untrue — all that keeps mounting up, inevitably
Again, it may not necessarily be direct
A single white lie may be insignificant — but what caused you to distort the truth in the first place — that flawed precondition will manifest more white-lies and little dishonesties.
And 10 white lies add up to “something being amiss”
And it’s delusional to believe that anything you ever do is singular
Nothing is singular. Whatever you did — you did it for some reasons — and one of the reasons was WHO YOU ARE
Therefore not until you changed WHO YOU ARE — do your actions change
The same you still believes the same things that caused you to make that small trivial lie, or trick, or dishonesty.
Therefore it’s utterly inevitable that this nature of yours, and it’s proclivities, will be revealed
And this was only a smallest lie — only recorded in the memory of one other person
Add a single person more to the equation — now you have two records, two perspectives — and exponentially more variables
Add more people — there’s THAT MUCH MORE POSSIBILITIES
EXPONENTIALLY more ways in which the story might not be adding up
And again: it’s not about finding proof
DOUBT is enough proof
There’s no proof for anything in this world
You simply take the best, most reliable option available
Therefore to damage one’s trust once — is to suffer for it forever
And the untruth sows doubt in infinitely many ways
Infinitely many ways something just “doesn’t add up”
And who wants to build things with someone they don’t trust?
The world knows
It may not be precise — but it’s there
The truth is unequivocally true. You see it clearly, doubtlessly
And you choose that truth over that which is doubtful
Sometimes all seems doubtful — but at the end — truth produces better outcomes — and reveals itself to be true
And the world knows
It may not know precisely — but it knows
That’s how it is able to operate in the first place
Therefore the one who doesn’t conceal anything
The one whose utterly plain and transparent and sincere and naive even,
That one gets ahead
He’s the one who gets special treatment — because you can trust him
And you can — because he’s so simple and plain and knows what he wants
And he’s the one to ask for what he wants
He’s the one to do what he said
And he’s the rare one that doesn’t waste his energy on maintaining false appearances
And he’s the rarest one who does what is necessary — because he doesn’t delude himself
And you can be like him
If you assume that the WORLD KNOWS — which it does — then you are FREE TO BE REAL
There’s no more incentive to PRETEND to be someone you’re not, or to play some trick because you think you’ll get ahead
The WORLD KNOWS
The only thing left is to be REAL
Might immediately SAY WHAT YOU WANT — then ASK WHAT IT COSTS
And then might as well FOCUS on that which must be done
And not on all the short term tricks and shenanigans
Do what must be done
