The simple truth is: “truth” is too hard for many to accept. There is always a “hard edge” to it. It doesn’t give ground. What it says, it “says!” If we “dumb it down” we make it soft, malleable, something with which we are content to live. Truth’s purpose is to change our core, to make us see the wrongness of the way we are currently living. Truth is always uncomfortable, going straight for the jugular. It will not tolerate dilution. Any such measures deform it into something grotesque and sickening.
