These rare senses and powers of reasoning were given to be used freely, but not audaciously, to discover, not to pervert the truth.

The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.

A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.

Responsibility Encoded Truth

most hide from the truth
but truth demands responsibility
accuracy empathy sensibility

lost is discernment rare art
logic applied sense sensibility?
No rare is once prized rare art
valued sense and sensibility?

most hide from inconvenient truth
but truth demands responsibility
integrity morality sensibility

The Art of a well-developed genius is far different from the Artfulness of the Understanding, of the merely reasoning mind. Shakespeare was no calculator, no learned thinker; he was a mighty, many-gifted soul, whose feelings and works, like products of Nature, bear the stamp of the same spirit; and in which the last and deepest of observers will still find new harmonies with the infinite structure of the Universe; concurrences with later ideas, affinities with the higher powers and senses of man. They are emblematic, have many meanings, are simple and inexhaustible, like products of Nature; and nothing more unsuitable could be said of them than that they are works of Art, in that narrow mechanical acceptation of the word.

The instant the Government was organized, at the very first Congress, the Northern States evinced a general desire and purpose to use it for their own benefit, and to pervert its powers for sectional advantage, and they have steadily pursued that policy to this day.

Validation Of Truth

She assumes many things
that she believes to be fact

as she thinks
perceives
so must it be

an absolute
for her
there can be

no other possibilities
no exceptions
in her mood changing reality

she remains
at the centre
of her world

a belief system
based upon presumptions
without foundation

believed without
actual evidence
mere inference

conclusions drawn
without evidence
lacking reasoning

no logical process
applied reasoning
premise to conclusion

a reasoning process
lacking logic is
incapable of comprehension

validation to confirm establish truth
would be an ongoing redundant task

Dangerous Crime

Dangerous men walk for the reasons known to mankind,
Their manhood is derived from active thinking and strategy;
If they walk then talking and getting ahead of others comes to the senses,
Munching cigarettes is appalling, too many are beguiled by addiction.
Then, the alleys are safer when they are not, when they skilfully require mercy,
Roads must come with vehicles, with trucks of enormous strength
To run over the dangerous criminals who pervert the course of civilisation.
Dangerous men talk like business of a higher force, the very truth behind them,
It requires somebody’s insult, it requires somebody’s force,
And then the police arrive at their doorstep, forcing an arrest.

Rare Friend

I will be your rare friend;
Spend many hours meditating on your success.
I will be your rare friend;
Be there for you when you are not at your best.
I will be your rare friend;
One who will take you home when your legs tire.
I will be your rare friend;
And will be beside you when go through the fire.
I will be your rare friend;
When others abandon you and laugh at you.
I will be your rare friend;
Not caring the color of your skin or what you do.
I will be your rare friend;

I will be your rare friend because its true, I am you.

There are also two kinds of truths: truth of reasoning and truths of fact. Truths of reasoning are necessary and their opposite is impossible; those of fact are contingent and their opposite is possible.

Decypher

I look into your mind
I rip apart your soul
I cut into your flesh
Decipher the code
Dangling from words
That pervert your mind
Cleansing your soul
From code you can't hide
Scraping bits of flesh
To analyze the truth
Decipher the code
And break right through
I see your crimes
And watched you take their souls
You'll always lose
Digging through those holes
Dangling from words
That pervert your mind
Cleansing your soul
From code you can't hide
Scraping bits of flesh
To analyze the truth
Decipher the code

Purely Metaphysical-Letters to a Consciousness Waiting in Waste Letter X

Suffering made a brief visit in my life early this morning.

Instead of finding you last night I was found by another. She would not compete.
However mistakes had to be made in order for me to grow to the next realisation of truth.

Truth that I love you and no other.
Truth that you live and grow in my heart.
Truth that you are always in my thoughts.
Truth that I must tell you how I feel.
More and more, I grow courageous enough to express my compassion for you.
Truth is to live my life with you, freely and forever.
I will never hurt truth.
I will live and love truth.
I will know, understand and believe truth.
I will do everything I can to let you know truth.
I will not fear truth.
If you reject me, I will still love.
If you accept me, we will become love.

The truth of love

Truth Is..

Truth is..
Thunder in the night,
a firefly in flight.

Truth is..
In its purest form rare,
very seldom do they spare.

Truth is..
The light at end of tunnel
Shattering or very subtle

Truth is...
Clear as cloudless sky,
blue as ocean far and wide.

Truth is..
The calm before the storm,
not in any different form.

Truth is..
Opening our eyes,
is 99% surprise.

Truth is...
painful, devastating,
or uplifting levitating.

Truth is..
what we want to hear,
and most times is what we fear..

Dont understand they say the truth
is what will set you free,
but how will I escape
if they keep lying to me?

In every chain of reasoning, the evidence of the last conclusion can be no greater than that of the weakest link of the chain, whatever may be the strength of the rest.
