lies, lies, lies and more lies...
i was practically hooked on tv watching the senate investigation hearing on the abduction of lozada. it is a case on resolving whether he was really abducted or he was just being protected by the administration from "threats". i may not have watched the entirety of the hearing, but i have heard testimonies from both camps. each one claiming the truth of one matter. one word against the other. yet, truth could only be one. and clearly, lies could not but surface in the face of truth.i was reminded of a verse in sir walter scott's "marmion:"
"Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice we deceive."
a single lie would eventually end up into a hegemonic complex of lies, creating a pseudo-reality to replace that which is true. soon enough, one could not even contain and control this monster he created.
as history unfolds itself, we find ourselves into the realization how we have been allowing ourselves to live in a time-space warp -- a world full of lies and distorted facts. just when do we act to say enough is enough? or should we stay quiet and "unbothered" by the illusions that swirl around us since we are used to this discomfort?
lies, lies, lies, no more lies...
the people, for a long time, deserve to know the truth, freely, unhindered, undistorted.
the more we hide and delay the truth, the more painful it is to strike us in retribution. let not the truth blow out of proportion.
