I understand the nature of lying is in "lack of similarity" between two perspectives when one entity is conscious of this lack and the other is not, however can the truth not be equally enslaving to some souls? A very confusing point...
I would disagree with you, dear Azrael, in regard to your last question. So far, the truths I have learned for me, the things that rang true to me, regardless of their source and nature, have been freeing me from prejudices and stereotypes, have been ennobling me to pursue sto values, have open new doors and horizons for me.
Don't you think you are abusing a little bit of the word "enslavement" in relation to truth?
Let me know if I got your statement wrong, or if I missed some of the depths of it.
Speaking for myself- I find Azrael's points in line with your own, Radu. That you have found items that ring truth in you, and that finding them was a matter of opening your mind.
