Truth

I just finished watching Good Night, and Good Luck again, and it got me thinking.

I think common people love truth with a passion that borders on neurosis. They love truth because truth is eternal, permanent, lasting. They love it because truth never changes, never betrays, never fails or falters. They love truth because they love to surround themselves with others who also love it, to be surrounded. They love truth because it provides a purpose to their otherwise purposeless lives, and it provides this purpose by way of commandments to be obeyed. Yes indeed, common people love the idea of truth.
