Truth

Our world view is shaped by what we believe is the truth.

Obviously, by the time truth reaches our minds it goes through multiple cultural, social and experiential filters.

Most often, what we consider are self evident is distorted.

That's why diverse and rich experience helps. It adds flavors to a simple stereotype. The more you experience the more you realize that what you thought were neat pigeon holes are actually a maze.

If there are many sources for your truth, chances are that it is less distorted. It is not monochromatic.

The dangerous one is if you get your truth from only one source. Your source controls what is true. It is impossible to verify it.

There is another type that is even more dangerous. That is when "you" are the only source for your truth. It is often your "prejudice" disguised as truth. And it is hard for you to tell the difference.

Watch out for it.
