Truth: Are we Prepared to listen to it?

We expect honesty and truthful people around us, but are we truly prepared to hear the truth that may challenge our biases? Are we willing to acknowledge the shortcomings of our favorite person when they are proven wrong? Are we ready to accept the truth about our preferred political party when caught in a corruption scandal? Are we prepared to face the reality of our nation, which struggles with unemployment, indiscipline, and poor health infrastructure?

I don't believe we are adequately prepared to accept the truth. We tend to be biased and only want to hear positive things about the individuals, parties, or our nation. With this attitude, truth will remain neglected, and we will continue to associate with morally wrong individuals, support corrupt political parties, and maintain blind loyalty to our nation despite its flaws in the name of patriotism. Meanwhile, we expect good governance, convinced that what we know is the truth and that opposing viewpoints are lies.

Unless we take a stand and call things as they are, we risk remaining educated puppets in the hands of wrongdoers while mistakenly believing we are being led astray. In reality, we may be governed like slaves.

While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
