Dear trustworthy friends,
It must be by the arrangement of faith that you landed here at my site, if you believe.
There's a truth. Ppl r always skeptical to someone who says "I'm telling the truth." Let's learn more about how to be skeptical, why not? If the person is telling you ONLY, be skeptical. If this person is the ONLY one telling you this, let him/her finish what going to be said, there might be the possibility that you are hearing the truth.
Did you spot the difference between the two statements above? No, you don't get it?
We are always skeptical towards people, don't you? Ok...Are you SKEPTICAL to what I have just said? If no, you are a fool. If yes, you are going beyond skeptical this time but rather to really find the truth.
Before I continue, perhaps it's a wise move to check the words "skeptic" and "truth" together using our respective dictionary, ok?
............................................
Get back here and have a simple comparison of the meanings of the words.
Skeptic = a person who usually doubts that claims or statements are true, especially those that other people believe in
Truth = the true facts about something, rather than the things that have been invented or guessed
Skeptics are a group of people who MIGHT argue over things that are essentially TRUE. Well, I perceive they have their own reasons for being skeptical. Maybe they were once the victims of that particular matter, you know it can be anything.
There are unscrupulous skeptics who attempt to deny the truth despite having full knowledge of that truth. At this point, skeptics are showing the intention to mislead and confuse people. They are no longer a professional skeptic but reduced to infamous cheaters.
Let alone this example. Assuming skeptics be skeptical out of some strange mysterious discoveries which have consistently shown incongruity, and have the willpower to unveil the once-was-true truth. To perform the task completely, generally, a skeptic must be well equipped with great depth of knowledge in the subject that he/she is in conflict with.
So far so good?
Can you follow my argument? I hope so.
I would like you to recognize and remember this "What a group of people is doing may not be regarded as truth". Their practice might be accepted, but can never be deemed as a truth. Plenty of examples are going through my mind but I have to suppress myself from telling all at once. I still want you to continue be skeptical in what going to be shown next, but not to buy my idea so quickly. Because, after all, there stands a 50:50 chance that it could be true as well.
When read until here, some of you might be tired of reading it and you might be asking "why the hell a truth so matter to you?" out of frustration. Of course this won't happen if you truly know me, my friend, my brother.
It will never matter to you if you were not one of the victims of scams, lies and fraud. It will never matter to me if I could stare at my friends being deceived unwittingly. Prevent is better than cure. Make yourself aware to the traps before falling into one, and let me help you to create this awareness, ok?
There's a truth. Other than your parents and teachers, others are worth doubting. Even if papa, mama or teachers tell you the lies, they are meant to take you one step closer to the truth. And it's a universal truth that a truth does not change with time nor changed when it's approached using other methods. You may use method A, method B, ... method Z etc, but be sure you arrive at the right conclusion. I believe this isn't hard to understand if you see this in a mathematical view.
Truth can't be asked for, it must learnt and felt by the seekers. This isn't come from me, but from a pious religious friend of mine. Yeah, this is subtle. And I actually doubted a while of what he said probably because driven by my nature.
Sometimes, one needs to go beyond one's limit of faith in something which is essentially not real. Let's say one day you have been told that someone who you very trusted has betrayed you, how would you feel? What would react if you were so unfortunate to discover your trusted friend have betrayed you? One thing for sure, your trust to that person is like a broken vase that cannot be sealed. Isn't it a simple case of cause-and-effect?
There's a timeless truth: there's no free lunch in the world (borrowed from a favourite Mandarin phrase). So, if you were to bump into someone offering you sort of once-in-a-lifetime business/project, be wary of the trick up his sleeves.
What I shared here probably didn't help you in identifying what kind of truth I am talking or what are the tricks. Well, I got to say I write this with one purpose in mind: to instill the awareness in you that we are living in a world fraught with deception.
Doubt this if you wish to...
You can trust me, my fellow man!
Your trustworthy friend,
Max Lee
