Thirsting for truth, no matter how jarring

April 23rd 2008 17:51


Viggo Mortensen says, in his poem 'Un Beso De Esos':

Even if it disturbs, the truth
is contagious.

I say:

I have a need to be 'disturbed' by new information! I have been lucky to have been brought up to seek knowledge voraciously and to work with my biases instead of against them. To evoke another saying, 'Minds are like parachutes - they only work when they're open.'

Hey Morgan!
Lol, He was grooming a moustache for a role, I think... I prefer him clean-shaven, but I'm afraid it's not up to me! The pic was taken a few years ago, it's from an Alatriste premiere somewhere.
And thank you for yours...

Well you know what they say, everyone's an actor in this modern age!

If you ever do grow a moustache I will be sure to applaud your efforts!

True words postmodern,

Words all should follow, the truth hides in mysterious places, usually where most don't like to look.

Hey JD,

That's what makes the truth such a precious and rare commodity - and what is truth? You could say that there are different qualities of truth available for just about every topic of investigation, couldn't you? Bush could be "the worst president ever" or he could be "the president to pour the most funds into Africa since...". It's all a matter of who you listen to, for how long, and with how much attention, for me.
