The truth is always exciting
Today’s random quote:
“The truth is always exciting. Speak it, then. Life is dull without it.” ~ Pearl S. Buck
I’m honestly not in the mindset to write this morning and for the life of me I’m not coming up with anything to say about this one. Maybe it’s because I think it’s a bit backwards. Don’t people usually make up lies in order to create excitement because the truth seems boring to them? Maybe she means the truth is really more exciting than we actually realize. I don’t know. What are your thoughts on this one?
By the way, if you don’t know who Pearl S. Buck is, you’re missing out. She’s a great author who wrote many, many books and often about women’s rights. I encourage you to find out more about her.

My take on this? People don’t like to face the truth. People don’t like to hear it when it interferes with their personal worldview or social point of view.
The truth is usually controversial, so I suppose it could be viewed as “exciting.”
It’s funny how so many people think truth is a personal choice or it’s “relative” to one’s own situation, but that doesn’t seem to be the viewpoint of Ms. Buck. Sounds like she believes there are two views here: truth and untruth (lies).
Perhaps she didn’t know that today she wouldn’t be considered “politically correct.”
Kel - you are right, we certainly don’t want to face the truth, especially when it interferes with our fun. I have a feeling if Ms. Buck were alive today she would be considered a “right wing nut”. However, if she were running for President, I would vote for her.
