Truth, Tolerance, and Covid
Only truth can awaken the Sleepers
I recently read an essay about truth and a five-legged cow and though the focus of the piece is on truth in Christian art, I was struck by the way the author, Deacon Lawrence, introduced the concept of truth. Lawrence claims that President Lincoln once used a story about a five-legged cow in an effort to illustrate the error in a debate opponent’s thinking.
Here’s the exchange from Lawrence’s essay:
“Tell me, how many legs does a cow have?”
“What?” responded the man, “why four, of course.”
“Now suppose,” continued the president, “that you call the cow’s tail a leg. Then how many legs does a cow have?”
“Five,” replied the man.
“That’s where you are wrong,” replied Lincoln. “Calling a cow’s tail a leg does not make it a leg.”
Our world is obviously suffering with a sort of inability to see truth, which results in an inability to see error. Absolute truth has been killed by the dogma of relativism. Those who have fallen into this trap eventually become confused about what they actually believe.
“When regard for the truth has been broken down or even slightly weakened, all things will remain doubtful.” ~St. Augustine
We see the effects of this confusion throughout society at this point. We’re told we must celebrate the mental illness of gender dysphoria by calling a born male a woman should he ‘identify’ as such. We’re strongly pressured and sometimes even threatened with serious consequences if we fail to use the correct pronouns for a born female masquerading as a male. We’re told a dangerous, deadly experimental injection is safe and effective and we mustn’t speak otherwise. We’ve moved far beyond calling a cow’s tail a fifth leg and into a world illusions and falsehoods — a kind of inverted reality. It’s all about compliance.
Part of the reason we’ve abandoned the idea of objective truth is that we have allowed tolerance to hold such an exaggerated level of importance. The majority of people recoil at speaking to what they know is true for fear offending someone or getting canceled by the so-called mob. The masses demand absolute tolerance, but view truth as a mere opinion. You know how it goes: “You have your truth and I have mine.”
Tolerance has become a god and hoards of westerners worship at its altar day and night.
Truth shines through the darkness
I am grateful that Covid came about when it did because without it, I probably would still be blindly trusting big pharma and its minion doctors. I would still hang on every utterance, trusting that these people and entities had my family’s best interests in mind. The rush of truth and its bright light shone without mercy on my errors and misplaced trust. Countless people have come along as well and more are awakening each day.
I will never look at the world the same way as I did before. This doesn’t mean that I will embrace cynicism or bitterness. Oh I will see beauty, truth, and goodness in all its glory more than ever. But I will never forget what has been done to us, the murderous hospitals, compliant healthcare professionals, the wars, the plans to cull us, the evil that seeks to cloak all that is good with darkness. My trust is precious and I will never place it so carelessly again.
The willful blindness still keeps the majority of the population in its clutches. I admire all those tirelessly searching, often spending long hours and sacrificing much to find the answers. My part is small compared to these giants, but I am committed to relentlessly sharing their findings and talking to any sleepers I come across face-to-face.
We must no longer tolerate the lies, the obfuscation, the controlling ‘elite’, those hypocrites who work for our destruction. We must rise up and let our intolerance fly.
“America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance — it is not. It is suffering from tolerance. Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos. Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it is with the broadminded.” ~Ven. Archbishop Fulton J Sheen
