The Smell of Cabbages

It seems rather strange that the truth sounds like a conspiracy theory. However, as Mark Twain once said, fiction has to make sense, the truth doesn’t. On the other hand, all conspiracies have that much possibly that it seems plausible, which usually makes it a conspiracy theory. Nevertheless, the truth is becoming stranger and stranger. Making it seem more like fiction than fact.

People put chemicals in your food, it is true, some of these chemicals aren’t good for you. The news actually doesn’t necessarily produce the truth since some of their viewpoints are opinionated. People don’t explode when in space without a space suit. Whiskey actually doesn’t keep you warm.

All these facts are true, and it might seem strange because you may have believed otherwise. However, as life goes on, the truth is only going to seem stranger as we realize that a lot of things we believed as truth is not.

The main cause of these things is that people are being less honest. Although they may not outright lie, most of the time you will basically say they are lying, even though they aren’t. Take for instance, when the government use to say something you could actually believe it, when the news reported something, it wouldn’t change later on, and finally when someone advertised something, it meant it was so.

Nevertheless, the truth maybe is not getting stranger, the problem is that the truth is no longer adding up with what is being said, that is why the truth may seem strange. When someone says one thing, compared to the truth it may look very strange. With this situation you come to the realization that what you have been told by one source is truth, and the other is not.

So if a company or organization says something is good when it is actually false, it’s going to be a choice, what do you believe in? That which seems plausible or that which seems strange. Although things may seem strange it may very well be the truth. However, sometimes things are strange because they just simply are strange, if not down right crazy, wrong.

The fact is, the truth is no longer something that sounds true. Instead the truth will sound strange if not untrue, because what we believed true, is no longer. It going to make things harder to find what is so. To find the truth we will need to be ever more careful, because what in the past where we could say was just nonsense could very well be true. What this really means is that we will be spending that much more time looking for what is true and what is not. And what we could have overlooked as false may very well be true.
