Frustrating Search For Truth

Truth, runs through the fingers of philosophers and theorists like sand. The harder you clasp, the more the sand gets pushed away from your grasp, and the harder you try, the further it emits its elusive characteristics. Simple truth, basic questions that can be answered by looking in a book, or looking up online, can be found with effort. Some truths though, seem to be impossible to reached. As I look on the news, I wonder what is truth, and what is a creation of the media world. What do we really know about the war in the Middle East, if we are not physically there? What are we truly fighting for? Who are we truly fighting? What are we in search of? We have become so dependent on indirect media to tell us what we want to believe is truth. Frustration builds within me when limitations are placed upon my search for truth. Only if the our knowledge of the truth was a right, and not a privilege in our country. There is no consequence for those who retain the truth from us.

Will we ever know the truth about our countries historical event, and current events?

Do you feel if we can handle the dirty truths of our country?
