truth compounds, for the rest of your life

 

you can’t grow a flower from a rotten seed

if you attempt to grow wisdom from the untruth — you will only grow rot

 

but if you grow wisdom from the truth — it will flower

one seed will yield thousands of seeds

from which another thousand flowers shall bloom

 

this is why it’s utterly imperative that you despise the untruth

you don’t have to know much — but you must be free from the untruth

the truth, the wisdom, it will grow from the healthy seeds of truth

however the untruth will corrupt it all, if you let it

don’t let the untruth corrupt you

 

don’t let the untruth corrupt you

this means to humble up

humble up intellectually (epistemically) and emotionally

that means to abandon the comfort of false certitudes

that means to abandon the delusion of mindly theories and narratives

that means to be always ready to re-discover the truth

that means to focus on reality, on REAL outcomes, and not illusionary

 

and then the truth can flower, and not rot

and one seed yields more seeds and more flowers

truth compounds

the few true truths that you shield will be the foundation of the edifice of wisdom

your perception will be clear

you will penetrate the fabric of reality with greater accuracy

you will not be as biased as everyone else, your rationality will not be as bounded

your perception will not be distorted the the untruth, by the compelling, by the rhetorical, by the apparent, by the wishful, by what-ought-to-be,

this will make you tremendously intelligent

rather than making sense out of all the noise and chaos, reconciling different conflicting false beliefs — your intelligence will be free to penetrate right into the core

this is intelligence

 

truth compounds indeed

the gap becomes enormous, disproportionate

the world looks crazy in comparison

people look mad

everyone is tottering blindly, as you march in a straight line

untruth is terribly blinding… obviously

please let the truth blossom
