“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Great day Truth team, it’s been a minute(or not) since we last reached out. As a new and small organization, this quote is very befitting of where we are right now. Truth, enough said, love it, never plan to part from it. We are true to ourselves, flaws included. We encourage you to do the same. Acceptance allows you to open yourself to the next dimension, hence, you’ve got progress. And why not pardon error? Error, in its true nature, is sometimes a consequence of truth. Accept your errors, their errors, our errors, and expect growth to follow…-Stay encouraged
It was such a treat to find words of truth from the late and great king of pop. As a fan, I will ignore his circumstances during the time this quote was made(feel free to google it!). I will however, focus on the strength behind the statement. Lies will indeed go a very short distance with truth looming and waiting for its debut. Truth cannot be tampered with and so it will surpass any measure of time and distance. Chew on that for a bit…till next time Truth team…-Deuces-
Here is a fun one for you Truth&Logic nation! Lies travel far and fast, followed by consequences for something you did not do! Yes, yes, I feel your pain. Worry not, let’s start a new trend, one that moves us to verify information and confirm the truth before we make hasty decisions. Look at youuuu wearing your Truth armor!
Dr. King’s library of words are catalysts of conversation in themselves. That’s why this week, I won’t add to our quote in efforts to not dilute the message. I will just join you in absorbing the quote, and possibly meditate on some character building…
As told by Bengali artist Tagore, “All logic” is a weapon compared to a blade. And why would it be implied that it’s harmful? Logic, by definition, is the formal principle of a branch of knowledge*. We aren’t to presume that a branch of knowledge has been identified as harmful. We are to think on the idea that logic exposes limits in its reason. Those limits are set by hard facts or evidence. That’s where the harm is committed. When and if we lock our ideas on what physical evidence exists, then we’ve limited our thinking, our ideas, and our creativity. Our creativity will explode into original ideas once we break past the limits of logic.
What say you?

Happy New Year family! This is ‘it’! Like every new year, this is THE one! Okay, well for some it will be, for some it was last year, and for others, it will be another year. However, there is no time like the present to choose to be a winner. Want to know what winners do? They succeed in spite of any obstacles placed in front of them. These obstacles will sometimes present themselves as truth. The truth will at times discourage you, slow you down, and push you toward waving the white flag. As it relies to Queen Maya’s quote, be careful not to indulge in facts from unreliable sources. A good friend once said, “Consider the source and let it go”; sketchy sources may deliver sketchy information. As I’ve mentioned before, the real truth will be at its origin.
Choose to be a winner, and just make this year a greater one than the last…

I see the words in this sentence, but why does it read “Don’t be lazy” to me? I sure hope I’m not losing my site! The truth…usually…hurts; and by nature, when something hurts, we choose to either deter ‘it’ away from us or change ‘it’ to appeal to our desire of the “truth”. What is there to be afraid of? Where personal experiences are concerned, the worst that can happen is we use the truth as armor for the next time. Where seeking information is concerned, the worst that can happen is that you’ve added to that small random space in your brain collecting dust. (Believe it or not, that dusty space will come in handy when you’re having a random conversation…you may seem…dare I say it…Intelligent!!!) Ha! All joking aside, completing the journey through truth road will prove to be an empowering experience time and time again. – Be empowered and Stay Classy
