can't find a way to live together in peace then for the most part, when confronted with true evil, we won't be able to discern anything about what is real or actual with regards to being manipulated. 

The Bible says beginning in John 8:42-47 that Jesus, as he is blasting the Jews in the temple for their hypocrisy and religious backward justification of truth in their own eyes how they line their mouths with lies. 
There seems to be a lot of justification going on these days.





Do people want the truth, or a story?
 something within their narrative to give them the delusion of some meaning… which by the way they could get with h the truth… just maybe not the one they were expecting.

Old news? Yeah, that view is so 1984.
