Silly subject if applied to a world view. Sounds oxymoronic already

Topical, since the title phrase appeared in yesterday's WT study.
suavojr said:
"The truth about life is harsh but liberating. It is heart wrenching, but rewarding. It will cause you to lose it all, but gain everything."
So true for those who wake up to the falsehood of the WTS teachings and the way they have lived their life up to then. Only certain people have the courage to face that .....as Orwell is credited with saying :
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
It certainly is for the wakener inside the WTS

Truth can not be selected or choosen... It simply "is". Now ABSOLUTE truth is hard because it depends on point of view. If a bottle of 1000ml is filled 500ml it is half full for the optimist and half empty is the pessimist. They both speak the truth right?
The nice thing of this example is that they can both say he or she is wrong based on their own view but it does not change the fact.
